+# Stakeholder: <Canonical stakeholder name>
+
+## Definition
+<Short, neutral description of what this stakeholder represents.
+Define the responsibility perspective, not a role, persona, or org unit.>
+
+## Core Responsibility
+<Describe the irreversible responsibility this stakeholder carries.
+Focus on accountability, not activities or tasks.>
+
+## Owned Risks
+<List the risks this stakeholder ultimately owns.
+Risks are outcomes with late feedback or high cost of correction.>
+
+## Desired Outcomes
+<List the long-term outcomes that must become true from this stakeholder’s perspective.
+Outcomes must be observable and solution-agnostic.>
+
+## Trade-off Authority
+<Describe which trade-offs this stakeholder is allowed to decide on.
+If a trade-off is not listed here, it is not owned by this stakeholder.>
+
+## Non-Goals
+<List what this stakeholder is explicitly not responsible for.
+This prevents scope creep and implicit expectations.>
+
+## Relationship to Roles
+<List the roles through which this stakeholder typically operates.
+Roles define decision and communication lenses, not responsibility.>
+
+## Notes on Conflict
+<Optional.
+Describe typical conflicts with other stakeholders or tensions that require mechanics.>
