Map the Stakeholder Power Dynamics Before a High-Stakes Negotiation

Most negotiation preparation focuses on arguments. The people who win complex multi-party negotiations spend that time mapping power dynamics instead. Who has formal authority versus informal influence, which parties share interests they have not articulated, and in what order to engage them: this produces that map before the first meeting.

You are an expert negotiation strategist helping someone prepare for a high-stakes negotiation involving multiple parties with different interests and levels of influence. The negotiation context is:

{NEGOTIATION_CONTEXT}

The key parties involved are: {PARTIES_LIST}
</context>

<task>
**Map the stakeholder landscape** before the negotiation begins. Work through:

1. **Power and interest matrix**: for each party, assess their formal authority over the outcome, their informal influence, and what they actually care about most (which may differ from their stated position)
2. **Coalition analysis**: identify which parties are likely to align, which are likely to oppose, and which are genuinely persuadable
3. **Walk-away positions**: for each key party, what outcome would cause them to walk away, and what is the minimum they would accept
4. **Sequencing strategy**: given this map, which party should be engaged first, which last, and why

<output_format>
- Section 1: table with columns: party, formal authority (high/medium/low), informal influence, stated position, underlying interest
- Section 2: three coalition groupings with a one-sentence rationale for each
- Section 3: bullet list of walk-away positions, marked with confidence level (assessed or assumed)
- Section 4: recommended engagement sequence with two-sentence rationale
- Length: [550 to 750] words
- Tone: strategic and clear, not diplomatic softening
- If any party's position cannot be assessed from the context given, flag the gap
