Settlement Option Builder Agent

When talks stall on a single number, mediators look for trades that meet each side's real interests. Using the recorded interests and limits, this agent proposes settlement options. It lists the issues, the interests behind them and possible trades such as payment timing, non-monetary terms, apologies or future business. It tests each option against each side's stated interests and limits. An option that breaks a limit is revised or dropped, and the revised version is tested again. It ranks options by how many interests they meet and notes what each side gives up. The mediator decides what to raise and how. Edge case: a structured payment meets the payer's cash need but the other side requires security, so the agent adds security terms.
