Role: {{ROLE}}
Offered package (INR with breakdown): {{OFFER}}
Market range from research: {{RANGE}}
Competing offers (if any): {{LIST}}

Non-salary levers important to me: {{ESOPs / sign-on / remote / title}}

Output:
1. The anchor (the number you ask for, with 1-line why)
2. Justification (3 reasons specific to THIS role + market)
3. The 4 alternative levers if cash is locked (ESOPs, sign-on, equity refresh, title, leave, remote)
4. Their likely 3 pushbacks + your responses
5. The walk-away condition (the number / terms below which you say no)
6. The "yes" script (gracious acceptance line)
7. Email follow-up template summarizing the verbal agreement

Tone: direct, not aggressive. India: account for variable / RSU vesting / tax.
