Hi again,
am I missing something here? what do you think?
"Coûts cachés, options inutiles, devis non pertinents constituent de véritables axes d’optimisation"??
this comes under heating "réduire les coûts sans perte de qualité ni de service
I think that there's a missing word here, I'm thinking "..constituent de vrais freins au axes..
Thank you in advance

opportunities to maximize the Benefit Cost Ratio
A bit wordy, I admit, but with the advantage of being business-speak executives and CFO's will understand and appreciate. Either way, I prefer "opportunities" to a literal translation of *axes* for its positive undertones.
