  "mechanism": "At the end of an exchange, each party names in its own words something it now holds that it did not hold before: an understanding, an option, a question or a capability. The exchange is a coflourish when every party names such a gain and no party's only gain is a concession by another. Unlike {{compromise}}, which settles by each side giving something up, it records what each side gained.",
