A requirement is technically feasible but business impact is low. How do you advise?

First, I would quantify the expected business benefit versus the effort or cost required.
I would explain that while the solution is possible, the impact may not justify the investment.
In one project, a small UI enhancement was easy to implement but did not improve user decision-making.
I recommended prioritizing features that drive measurable business value first.
I would suggest deferring or deprioritizing low-impact requirements.
If stakeholders insist, I would propose a lightweight prototype or minimal implementation to test usefulness.
I would provide clear documentation of potential ROI and trade-offs.
This ensures resources are focused on initiatives that meaningfully support business goals.
I would also revisit the requirement later if priorities or context change.
