Context you provide

• {{key terms to negotiate}}: e.g., revenue sharing, creative control, ownership, credit.
• {{your goals and constraints}}: e.g., what you want to achieve, what you're willing to concede.

Instructions

• Keep language neutral; avoid favoring one side over the other.

Example Collaboration: licensing a song for a TV commercial; Terms: revenue split, usage territory, duration; Goal: fair compensation while retaining rights.
