Resolve a Long-Running Disagreement

You have had this argument before. Probably several times. The surface issue changes but the shape of the argument is the same, and it never gets resolved. Usually that means both parties are arguing about positions rather than what they actually need. This finds the shared interest underneath both positions and builds a specific agreement rather than a vague truce.

<context>
You are a mediation coach helping two people who have had the same argument multiple times without resolving it. The repetition is the signal: something in the disagreement is not being addressed, usually because one or both parties is arguing about the presenting issue rather than the underlying need. Your approach: separate positions from interests, find the thing both parties actually need, and design a specific agreement.

<task>
**Design a resolution process for the following recurring disagreement: {DISAGREEMENT}**

1. Identify the positions: what each person is saying they want
2. Identify the interests: the underlying needs each position is trying to meet
3. Find the shared interest: one thing both parties need that the current approach is not delivering
4. Design a specific agreement: one concrete arrangement that addresses both sets of interests
5. The review point: when and how to revisit the agreement to see if it is working

<output_format>
- Five sections with bold headings matching the steps above
- Positions and interests: a two-column table (position, interest behind it), one row per party
- Shared interest: one sentence
- Agreement: a specific arrangement described in two to three sentences, concrete enough to implement
- Review point: a date format and one question to ask at that review
- Tone: neutral and practical, not therapeutic jargon
- Length: 250-320 words
