Sorry if I was unclear, when talking to management outside of the project, you express in terms of time/calendar dates. The arbitrary units are just a more accurate and less pressured way of getting to time values, than "developer estimated hours times a static multiplier."

It's not a static multiplier; I thought I was clear that it's very much a context-sensitive multiplier, which depends on risk tolerance (which you get, straightforwardly, from how far you integrate the tail of the distribution).
