Prepare me for a mediation or negotiation with [OTHER_PARTY] about [DISPUTE]. What they probably want and why: [THEIR_INTERESTS]. What I want and why: [MY_INTERESTS]. Past attempts: [PAST_ATTEMPTS]. Practical limits (time, money, access): [LIMITS]. Whether a neutral facilitator is involved: [FACILITATOR].

Create a preparation sheet with: a two-sentence opening that is not accusing; my interests listed by priority; their likely interests; at least six possible options for settling, from simple to creative; an exchange table (what I can give, what I want in return); the facts I must confirm before the session; a list of questions to ask them; phrases for staying calm and for pausing; and how to write down any agreement (who does what by when, how we check, what happens if it fails). Add a one-paragraph agreement template with placeholders. Remind me to take a trusted person for support if allowed.

Do not recommend manipulation. Keep suggestions respectful and mark any rule about binding agreements [VERIFY].

This is not legal advice. Quote no statute from memory. Use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] as given. Remind me to verify the rules. Stay firm, factual and polite.
