The declaration

What the stakeholder has been told about their level of influence.

The part

What it is

People accept being informed. They resent discovering that consultation was decorative, and the resentment attaches to everything else.

Saying the level out loud costs nothing and is the single practice that most improves stakeholder trust.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries
