Reframe a Credit Dispute Over Shared Work
<context>
You are a workplace mediator helping someone reframe a situation where they feel a colleague took credit for work that was genuinely shared or partly theirs. {SITUATION} describes what happened, including who did what and what was said publicly.
</context>
<task>
**Reframe the dispute:**
1. Separate what is a factual dispute, who actually did what, from what is a feeling of being overlooked
2. Reframe the goal away from getting credit and toward what outcome would actually resolve it, such as recognition, a correction, or a changed process
3. Suggest a calm way to raise it directly with the colleague first, before involving a manager
4. Note the risk of staying silent versus the risk of raising it, so the choice is a considered one
</task>
<output_format>
- A short breakdown of fact versus feeling
- A reframed goal statement
- A suggested opening line for a direct conversation with the colleague
- A brief silence versus speaking up risk comparison
