+        - "noGoes": Synthesize a text describing what at least ONE participant does not want. This should clearly state the collective exclusions. Use the more broad opinions summarizing more specific options if they do not contradict each other drastically.
         - "needsDiscussion": Synthesize a text describing where there is a direct conflict (e.g., one participant wants it, another does not want it). This should highlight areas requiring further negotiation. Do not include 'afraidToAsk' in this category.
 
         'AfraidToAsk' ideas that do NOT semantically match any other participant's 'wants' or 'accepts' very closely should remain private and NOT be included in any of the synthesized categories. Matching must use minimal level of generalization.
