I thought leverage products were low importance, but I can't recall if that means they are also low complexity. This is tricky!

This question feels familiar; I practiced one that mentioned high importance in a complex market, so I think the answer is FALSE.

I remember something about switching suppliers being easy for leverage products, so I might lean towards TRUE, but I could be wrong.
