más afiladas aristas en todas direcciones


Explanation:
Veo que la frase no se usa como denotación, sino como connotación (es decir, como metáfora), indicando que la nueva iniciativa tiene el potencial de herir, o causar problemas, más que una iniciativa anterior (acaso), de ahí que usen el termino "sharper" el lugar de "sharp".
