Wait, is it really just about interest? Seems too simple.

I definitely remember something about involvement, but I’m torn between authority and influence for the other axis.

I feel like the matrix should focus on influence and interest, but I can't quite recall if that's the best combination.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and it was about authority and interest. That seems to ring a bell.

I remember we discussed the importance of categorizing stakeholders, but I'm not sure if it's authority or influence that matters more.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Can someone clarify what exactly is meant by "complete scan" and "being configured"? That would help me decide the best answer.

Okay, let me see... I'm pretty sure Web and Chat are the two channels they're looking for. I'll go with those.

I think option A could be incorrect if one party acts on behalf of a group, but I'm not totally sure.
