# Stakeholders — `{{PROJECT_NAME}}`

External contacts with decision authority. Client name, role, comm channel, response cadence, areas they own.

> **This file directly addresses the "client late requirements → delays" pain.** When stakeholders' response cadence and ownership areas are documented, work can be sequenced around real human availability instead of optimistic assumptions.
