Bureaucratic
/ˈlænd.skeɪp/n. (bureaucratic)

Etym.from M.E. landescope, literally "view of land", repurposed in corporate argot circa 2008 by consultants seeking a neutral noun for competitive context; see R. H. Caldwell, Pitch Theory Quarterly, 2011.

A neutral abstraction that collapses competitors, technologies, and risks into a single slide to justify initiatives without committing to specifics.

'Given the current landscape, pursuing two platform plays is recommended,' - Q2 Strategy Deck, slide 18
