At The Very Least Meaning

(idiomatic) at least; as an absolute minimum

Example: 2013, Martina Hyde, Is the pope Catholic? (in The Guardian, 20 September 2013)[1]
  After all, if we think of the Vatican as a vast and hugely successful multinational corporation, then this interview would appear to be the equivalent of a profits warning. At the very least, it would seem to be tinkering with the formula of the biggest spiritual brand in the world, analogous to Coca-Cola changing its famous recipe in 1985.
