PSD.2:2 - Problem

A stakeholder list collapses several different questions: who attends, who contributes evidence, who may be affected, who holds a duty or interest, who represents whom, and who decides. The most visible contributors then define the concern set. Non-attendance is read as indifference; a representative’s statement is generalized beyond its basis; a possible consequence is reported as an observed one; or a facilitator’s synthesis becomes false consensus.

The opposite failure is exhaustive participation. Work stops until every possibly related person is present, even when the bounded receiving use needs only the smallest material account and an honest missing-participant stop. PSD.2 must expose consequential absence without claiming that every inquiry is a deliberative assembly.
