boil down to

a natural phrase for talking about the main point

If something boils down to one thing, that thing is the main point or the real issue.

  • For most clients, it boils down to timing and trust.

  • I think the whole decision boils down to cost.

  • A lot of these delays boil down to poor planning.

Dialogue

- When you look at the whole situation, what do you think matters most to the client?
