Random matrix quantities often exhibit a 1/N-expansion where the asymptotic limit of large dimension $N->\infty$ becomes tractable. In this talk, we give a simple way to control the finite dimension regime from the large-N limit using only soft arguments from polynomial approximation. This illustrates one of the key ideas for our new approach to strong convergence with Garza-Vargas, Tropp, and van Handel.
