trade-off

Portuguese translation: compromisso/compensação

English term or phrase: trade-off
Will certificates be issued based on attendance or by achieving a particular level of competency based on the course objectives? If the former, then there will be a trade-off on driving continuous improvement. If the latter, assessment of individual competency could include formal tests, written assignments, or other appropriate methodologies.

Pensei em usar o termo "prós e contras", mas não sei se ele se encaixa bem neste contexto. Busco sugestões.

Prós e contras


Explanation:
Caro amigo.
Quando temos que tomar uma decisão sabemos que há um lado favorável e um outro que provávelmente desfavorável.
Então: o lado favorável é chamado de pró, e outro contra.
Esta análise serve de modo geral.

Example sentence(s):
  • Preciso mudar para outra cidade, porém examinando os prós e contras, ficarei na mesma cidade. Há mais contras do que prós: levarei 5 horas para chegar ao trabalho - muito tempo - Pagarei mais caro por uma casa menor, e custo de vida é altíssimo.

Comprometimento


Explanation:
Neste contexto creio que o(a) autor(a) defende que o critério para emissão de certificados deve ser o desempenho, não a frequência.

O critério de frequência iria comprometer (prejudicar) a melhoria contínua do curso. Então "trade-off" tem conotação negativa de "comprometer".

there will be a trade-off on driving continuous improvement.
haverá um comprometimento na promoção de melhoria contínua.

Seria a segunda definição no link abaixo, em seus aspectos negativos.
