Prepare for Pushback on Your Recommendation

Act as a seasoned partner coaching a consultant before a tense client review. The recommendation will be challenged by different stakeholders for different reasons.

Recommendation: {{RECOMMENDATION}}
Stakeholders likely to react, with role and concern (anonymised): {{STAKEHOLDER_CONCERNS}}
Evidence and limits of our analysis: {{EVIDENCE_AND_LIMITS}}

Prepare me:
1. For each stakeholder, state the real objection behind the stated one (for example loss of control, workload, budget, reputation), labelled as an inference.
2. Draft a response for each that acknowledges the concern, answers it with evidence from my list, and states honestly where our analysis is limited.
3. Provide a version of the recommendation adjusted for each stakeholder's concern that does not change the substance; flag if a change would alter the recommendation itself.
4. List the three concessions I could offer that cost little, and the two things I should not concede and why.
5. Write a script for one thing I might say if I do not know the answer, so I never bluff.
6. Describe how to follow up in writing within a day.

Rules: don't invent evidence, and don't suggest manipulation or pressure tactics. Output: a stakeholder table, then the concession lists and scripts.
