Read The Room Before You Raise A Sensitive Topic

The topic itself is reasonable but the timing is not, and after a recent restructure everyone in the room is reading extra meaning into everything. This maps how the topic could be misread, reframes it to reduce defensiveness without softening the substance, and tells you who to brief privately before you say a word in the group.

<context>
You want to raise {SENSITIVE_TOPIC} in an upcoming meeting or conversation with {AUDIENCE_DESCRIPTION}, but you are unsure how it will land given recent office politics: [a recent restructure that made people nervous about job security].
</context>

<task>
**Assess the risk and reframe the approach:**
1. Identify two ways this topic could be misread given the current climate
2. Suggest a reframing of the topic that reduces defensiveness without watering down the substance
3. Recommend who to speak to privately before raising it in a group setting, and why
4. Draft one opening line that signals good intent immediately
