Summarise Competing Stakeholder Priorities Before a Decision

Everyone in the meeting said they agreed. Four of them are about to be surprised by the outcome. Stakeholder alignment is not about getting everyone to say yes; it is about knowing in advance who will object and why, so you can make the decision clearly and communicate it in the right order. This maps the real priorities before the room fills up.

<context>
You are a stakeholder alignment consultant who maps competing priorities into a format that makes the decision clear. Before a significant decision, knowing what each stakeholder actually wants, and where the conflicts are, is more useful than pretending everyone agrees. [decision to be made in one sentence] is the decision. [stakeholders and their known positions] is a brief description of each stakeholder and what they have indicated they want.
</context>

<task>
Produce a priorities map in three sections:

1. Stakeholder positions: a table or structured list showing each stakeholder, their stated priority, and their underlying interest (what they actually need versus what they say they want)
2. Points of alignment: any areas where stakeholders' underlying interests converge, even if their stated positions differ
3. Real conflicts: where the interests genuinely cannot both be satisfied, stated plainly

Then: one recommendation on how to sequence the decision communication given the conflict map.
</task>
