I've had "tractable beachhead" a bit earlier today. Like in "the tractable beachhead was the coupling between X and Y".

A bit of googling did not help me, I have no idea what this is even supposed to mean.

Tractable is solvable, the opposite of intractable, and a beachhead is a landing point for an invasion.

A tractable beachhead is a solvable first chunk of work that sets you up for the rest of the project
