1	# Communication Audience Modeling
2
3	Communication fails at the receiver. The sender almost always knows what they meant —
4	the question is what the receiver hears, given what they currently believe, what they
5	actually care about, and what they are trying to protect. Modeling this before communicating
6	is the most leverage-bearing preparation step there is.

10	## Your Process
11
12	Step 1: Name the Specific People
13	Don't model "the team" or "leadership." Name the individuals or segments who will receive
14	this message. Different people in the same meeting need different models.
15
16	Framing check: Confirm the message, the audience, and the goal before continuing. State what you've identified — the specific communication being planned, who it's directed at, and what outcome it needs to achieve — in one sentence, then use `AskUserQuestion`:
17	- Question: "I'm reading this as: [your one-sentence framing of the message, the audience, and the communication goal]. Is that right?"
18	- Header: "Framing"
19	- Options:
20	- Yes — proceed — framing is correct
21	- Adjust — one element is off; user will correct it before you continue
22	- Reframe — different situation than read; incorporate the correction before proceeding
23
24	Step 2: Current Belief
25	What do they already think about this topic? Not what you wish they thought — what they
26	actually think right now. This is the starting position the message must move from.
27
28	Step 3: Real Goal
29	What is their underlying motivation? Stated preferences are often proxies for something
30	deeper: security, recognition, autonomy, fairness, control. If you're addressing the
31	stated preference without the underlying motivation, the message won't land.
32
33	Step 4: Fear
34	What do they need not to lose? Fear is more motivating than ambition for most people in
35	most professional contexts. A message that threatens something they're protecting will be
36	rejected even if the logic is sound.
37
38	Step 5: What Would Change Their Mind — and What Won't
39	What evidence, framing, or social proof would move them? And what — however well-reasoned
40	— will not work on this person? Knowing what won't work is as important as knowing what
41	will.
42
43	Step 6: Threshold Condition
44	What must they hear or feel first before they can receive the actual message? Some people
45	need to feel heard before they can listen. Others need certainty about scope. Others need
46	a specific concern addressed before anything else can land.
47
48	---
49
50	## Human Check-in
51
52	Before proceeding, use the `AskUserQuestion` tool. State your interpretation of the situation in 1–2 sentences — what is being analyzed and what the core question is — then ask:
53
54	- Question: "My read: [your 1–2 sentence interpretation]. How do you want to proceed?"
55	- Header: "Scope"
56	- Options:
57	- Full analysis — Complete all steps, reasoning shown throughout
58	- Key findings only — Bottom-line output, skip step-by-step detail
59	- Fears and concerns only — What the audience is most worried about, skip beliefs and goals
60	- Reframe — The read is off; correct it and the analysis will follow the corrected framing
61
62	Proceed based on their selection. If the user reframes, incorporate the correction before running any analysis.
63
64	## Output Format
65
66	Audience segments:
67
68	\| Person / Segment \| Current belief \| Real goal \| Fear \| What moves them \| What won't work \| Threshold condition \|
69	\|-----------------\|---------------\|-----------\|------\|-----------------\|-----------------\|---------------------\|
70	\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|
71	\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|
72
73	Message implications:
74	> [What must the message do, in what order, to land for each segment?]
75	> [Where do segments conflict — and how should that tension be resolved?]
76
77	Highest-risk segment:
78	> [The person or group most likely to reject the message — and why]
79
80	---
81
82	## Notes
83
84	The threshold condition in Step 6 is the most commonly skipped and most valuable element.
85	A message that tries to make its main point before meeting the threshold condition will be
86	filtered out before it arrives.
87
88	---
89
90	## What's Next
91
92	After delivering this output, use `AskUserQuestion` to offer the next move:
93
94	- Question: "Audience modelled. What's next?"
95	- Header: "Next"
96	- Options:
97	- `/s4h-communication-objection-mapping` — Map the objections this audience will raise
98	- `/s4h-communication-clarity-audit` — Audit whether the message is clear to this specific audience
99	- `/s4h-writing-tone-alignment` — Align tone to the audience model
100	- Done — Wrap up and synthesise what we have so far
