A solution that is not perfectly optimal can still be useful because it can be presented to a stakeholder to illustrate the structure of a good solution. It helps decision makers understand what a reasonable candidate looks like, even if optimality is not guaranteed.
Conditions: The solution is understood to be near-optimal rather than exactly optimal.; This use case is framed as presentation and explanation, not proof of optimality.
