Prepare an offer and anticipate the counter

In short: This prompt helps with: prepare an offer and anticipate the counter. Use it when: you are about to make an offer to someone you want and expect them to negotiate. Fill in [CANDIDATE], [ROLE], [COMPANY], [CASH RANGE], [RANGE OR POLICY].

I want to make an offer to [CANDIDATE] for [ROLE] at [COMPANY]. Their situation, as far as I know: [CURRENT PACKAGE, OTHER OFFERS, WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT]. My budget: [CASH RANGE], equity [RANGE OR POLICY], and what I can add without extra cash [START DATE, TITLE, FLEXIBILITY, LEARNING BUDGET].

Help me:
1. put together the total package and explain each part in one plain sentence
2. predict the three requests they are most likely to make and, for each, what I could say yes to, what I should hold and what I should ask for in return
3. write the call script for making the offer, and a follow-up email that confirms it in writing
4. list the points I must be transparent about, such as the stage and the risks

Be fair to both sides. I want a package they can accept, not a trick.
