Purpose
This analysis names the people who influence the flash card project or are affected by it, so that owners, reviewers and readers can be cited by a stable ID in every other document. It follows the power and interest grid: each stakeholder is placed in one quadrant, and the quadrant sets how closely the project engages that stakeholder.

Power/Interest Classification Rationale
- Manage Closely (S01): S01 decides scope, writes the code and accepts the result, so both power and interest are high. S01 is the only stakeholder who can accept or reject a milestone.
- Keep Informed (S02): S02 cannot change the project, so power is low. They share code and compare solutions, so interest is high; the project informs them through a README that explains how to run the program and tests, and through function names they recognise from the assignment.
- Monitor (S03): S03 arrive occasionally and have no stake beyond finding the repository useful, so power and interest are both low. The project serves them with a repository description, topics and a README, and does not require them to install runtime dependencies.
S02 and S03 are classified by S01 as Product Owner; neither can be interviewed, so the classification is an assumption recorded in BC-001.

Conflicting Interests and Mitigations
| Conflict |
Stakeholders |
Mitigation |
S01 wants spoken Malay words (needs gTTS and playsound), S03 wants no runtime dependencies |
S01, S03 |
Speech is an optional extra (pip install .[speech]) behind a port; the core program uses the standard library only |
| S01 wants clean architecture with layers, S02 wants code that is simple to read and compare with the assignment |
S01, S02 |
The assignment's function names (next_card, flip_card, is_known) are kept at the presentation layer, and the wiki maps each assignment step to the files that implement it |
