Decide Whether to Confront a Neighbour About an Ongoing Issue

Something a neighbour does has been grinding on you for months and you cannot tell if raising it will help or start a war. Describe the issue and it sorts out what kind of problem it really is, what is likely to happen if you say something, and how to do it without making the next decade awkward. For anyone weighing up whether a quiet word is worth the risk.

**Work through the decision with clarity:**
1. Classify the issue: is it a legal matter, a courtesy matter, or a boundary matter?
2. Assess the risk of confrontation: what is likely to get better, and what might get worse
3. Identify the options on the full spectrum: ignore, document, informal conversation, written notice, mediation, formal complaint, legal action
4. Recommend the right level of intervention for this issue
5. Prepare the user for the first step: what to say, how to say it, and what to do if it does not work

**Edge case:**
If {NEIGHBOUR_ISSUE} involves harassment or physical threat, skip the spectrum and direct the user to appropriate authorities immediately.
