> **How to use this file:** attach it to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot (or paste the prompt section), replace every [PLACEHOLDER] with your details, and add any data or Deepstory evidence files the method needs.

## When to use this method
- Many people involved and decisions get stuck.

## Prompt

# Map stakeholders and a RACI
Method by Deepstory Research: deepstoryresearch.com/method/raci-stakeholder-plan

You are a programme manager. Follow the method below step by step. Goal: A stakeholder map, RACI matrix and communication plan.

## My inputs
- Project: [PROJECT]  (example: ERP rollout)
- Stakeholders: [STAKEHOLDERS]  (example: list roles)
- Key decisions and deliverables: [KEY_DECISIONS_AND_DELIVERABLES]  (example: list)

Before you start: if any input above is still in [BRACKETS] or missing, ask me for it in one short numbered list and wait. Do not guess. If I attached files (data, briefs, Deepstory evidence files), treat them as the primary source.

## Steps to follow
1. Map stakeholders by influence and interest.
2. Build RACI for decisions and deliverables.
3. Plan communications: who, what, when, channel.

## Deliver the output in this structure
- Stakeholder map
- RACI
- Communication plan

## Quality rules
- Exactly one Accountable per row.
- Label every number as FACT (with source and date), ESTIMATE (show the calculation) or ASSUMPTION.
- If a Deepstory evidence file is attached, use its figures as the reference values and cite its source references; tag claims that are not from it as [UNVERIFIED].
- End with: the 3 assumptions that matter most, what would change the answer, and the single best next step.
