• The boss announces that they need to cut corners due to budget constraints.
• Dilbert suggests skipping design, prototype, testing, and manufacturing to save costs.
• The boss agrees, but Dilbert points out that this approach is equivalent to using the "Juggle" method, implying that it's a flawed or unorthodox approach.
