✅ Simulation Types:

1. Budget Negotiation (Funding split, cost-sharing)
2. Scope of Work Disputes (Revising responsibilities mid-partnership)
3. Crisis Response Negotiation (Unexpected delays or reputational risks)
4. Cultural/Policy Misalignment (Resolving value-based tensions)
5. Long-Term Agreement Structuring (Drafting a MoC or extending a contract)
