You're negotiating a choice someone else has to make their own.
This is me →The organisation's yesYou're watching a decision stall after everyone already agreed to it.
This is me →The room's yesYour work gets used, and the credit quietly goes past you.
This is me →The authority to actA system decided correctly, and no one can explain why it was allowed to.
This is me →The owners are different. What counts as evidence is different. What the yes needs next is different in every one of them.
What repeats is the sequence: find where movement loses its ability to continue, name what the yes needs next, build the smallest thing that can make it true, then read whether progress actually began.
