Stakeholder Communications (Pragmatic Framework: Planning → Stakeholder Communications)

Executives communicate in spreadsheets, not screenshots. Track trends, not absolute numbers. Manage proactive communications from strategy through execution.

See ../pm-copilot/references/framework.md for the primitives.

Three steps

Identify → Analyze → Communicate.

1. Identify every stakeholder or group affected by or influencing the work.
2. Analyze each on two axes and place them on the matrix.
3. Communicate on a plan tuned to each quadrant.

Influence = informal authority — the power to facilitate or impede an objective; the ability to persuade or coerce others toward a course of action. Importance = formal authority — the priority given to satisfying that stakeholder's needs; their power to drive, change, or cancel the work.
