```
Generate a RACI matrix for this project:

Deliverables: [List of deliverables/activities]
Stakeholders: [List of roles/individuals]

Ensure validation rules are applied.
```

### Build Influence Network
```
Map the influence network for these stakeholders:
[Stakeholder list with relationships]

## Stakeholder Analysis Frameworks Reference

### Power-Interest Grid Quadrants
| Quadrant | Power | Interest | Strategy |
|----------|-------|----------|----------|
| Manage Closely | High | High | Engage deeply, regular communication |
| Keep Satisfied | High | Low | Keep informed, address concerns |
| Keep Informed | Low | High | Regular updates, involve in decisions |
| Monitor | Low | Low | Minimal effort, periodic checks |

### RACI Definitions
- **R** (Responsible): Does the work
- **A** (Accountable): Ultimately answerable (only one per activity)
- **C** (Consulted): Provides input (two-way communication)
- **I** (Informed): Kept updated (one-way communication)

### RACI Validation Rules
1. Every activity must have exactly one A
2. Every activity should have at least one R
3. Minimize C's to prevent bottlenecks
4. Not everyone needs to be involved in everything

### Mitchell-Agle-Wood Stakeholder Types
1. **Dormant**: Power only
2. **Discretionary**: Legitimacy only
3. **Demanding**: Urgency only
4. **Dominant**: Power + Legitimacy
5. **Dangerous**: Power + Urgency
6. **Dependent**: Legitimacy + Urgency
7. **Definitive**: Power + Legitimacy + Urgency
