You set the goal
State the outcome you want, the constraints, and what must not happen. Keep it concrete.
Engineering Diplomacy
Practice peace-first negotiation: explore scenarios, test concessions, and craft clear, verifiable terms toward agreement— faster than a crisis can escalate.
Peace-first
Multi-party
Verifiable terms
Move from positions → proposals → practical next steps.
Process
How It Works
Turn a complex dispute into a draft package of terms — then iterate through rounds until the most important points are acceptable.
The Diplomat drafts a deal package
You get 3–6 concrete terms: who does what, by when, and how it can be verified.
The Diplomat runs negotiation rounds
Participants respond term by term—supporting, pushing back, countering, or clarifying.
You converge on the best version
Refine the package until key terms are agreed, parked, or replaced with workable alternatives.
Most negotiations don't fail because people can't talk — they fail because the conversation never becomes a concrete draft with unobvious peaceful solutions.
The Diplomat actively searches for unexpected trade-offs and creative formulas that neither side considered—solutions that unlock agreements others missed.
