Brainstorming seems more about generating ideas rather than analyzing relationships, so I doubt that's it.

Brainstorming might be a good starting point to get all the stakeholders on the table, but I don't know if that fully captures the relationships and influence. I'm leaning towards mind mapping.

Hmm, I'm not sure which one is best here. Roadmap analysis or market analysis could also work to understand stakeholder influence. I'll have to think this through.
