Stakeholders and communities need a clear voice before you stake a recommendation or engagement plan.
Starting angles
How do you want to think about this problem?

Distinguish the familiar fix people request from the deeper need it's meant to serve.
Reach the voices the usual channels miss — including people who've adapted so far they no longer express the need.
