• {{known_details}}: Any known information about the counterparty's interests or weaknesses (optional).

Instructions

2. Analyze the counterparty's likely position, interests, and potential leverage points.
3. Develop a set of negotiation tactics, including opening moves, concessions, and fallback options.
