Réponse à Laurette :
Je pense que l'estimation ne fonctionne que s'il y a des chiffres, du rendement. Je ne pense pas que "option" fonctionne non plus, sauf si le contexte s'y prête (revue des différentes solutions au problème).

vu la phrase qui précède j'ai tendance à maintenir que case ici serait "difficulté, problème ou même défi"

Notes to answerer
Asker: thanks Layla your links are very helpful. Que pensez vous de la meilleure option, ou estimation haute et basse?

Asker: En fait *high case* revient quelques paragraphes plus loin : the president would be well advised to pursue some version of the high case. j'ai fini par choisir la *solution optimum* merci encore.
