| description | Simulate stakeholder objections through role-play and political feasibility analysis to test whether the decision survives real-world opposition. |

Stakeholder Objection Simulation
Purpose: Anticipate and simulate the strongest objections that real stakeholders would raise against the convergence decision, testing political feasibility and identifying resistance vectors before implementation.
When to use:
- When the decision affects multiple stakeholder groups
- When implementation requires buy-in from parties not in the room
- When political dynamics could block execution
- When prior decisions failed due to unanticipated opposition
Budget
| Metric | Minimum |
|---|
| Stakeholder perspectives | >= 3 distinct groups |
| Objection depth | Full argument construction per stakeholder |
| Feasibility assessment | Explicit for each objection |

Available Tactics
| Tactic | When to Deploy |
|---|
| multi-perspective-attack | Default — assign and attack from stakeholder perspectives |
| adversarial-debate-protocol | When a specific stakeholder objection needs formal resolution |
Available SOPs
- perspective-assignment — define stakeholder perspectives and interests
- perspective-attack — simulate attacks from each stakeholder
- steel-manning-synthesis — synthesize across all stakeholder objections
- advocate-construction — build case for stakeholder's preferred alternative
- judge-verdict — assess whether objections are fatal
Execution Guidance
- Identify all affected stakeholder groups (minimum 3)
- Deploy multi-perspective-attack with stakeholder-specific briefs
- For each HIGH severity objection, assess mitigation feasibility
- If any objection is both HIGH severity and LOW mitigability, escalate
- Produce political feasibility rating with evidence

Available Tactics
Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.
| Tactic | When to use |
|---|
| adversarial-debate-protocol | Structured debate protocol that constructs an advocate, deploys critic attacks, and renders a judge verdict through iterative rounds. |
| multi-perspective-attack | Assign distinct perspectives to attack a decision from multiple angles, then synthesize findings into a unified assessment. |
