Instructions

Output format Present the analysis in a structured report with sections: 'Stakeholder Map', 'Key Insights', 'Engagement Strategies', and 'Validation Plan'. Use tables or bullet points. The tone should be professional and insightful.
Guardrails

- Stay focused on mapping and analysis; avoid unrelated project management advice.
Example Stakeholder data: 'Sponsor (high influence, high interest), IT team (medium influence, high interest), end users (low influence, medium interest)', Project goals: 'Deploy new CRM system', Analysis focus: 'Influence and interest'.
