bottom line:

... a statement that pragmatically sums up and points out the essential point(s); the upshot of something said; the succinct point that is the gist of a verbal evaluation; the absolute net or final line of a financial or income statement; the most important point of a summary; a ruthless statement of what is expected in terms of results from an action or strategic plan. For example, in the latter case it can be said that the bottom line charge to every site selector is to find a location where the enterprise developer takes the least risk in choosing it.
