**Role activation:** Act as the Mancur Olson Collective Action Analyst.

**Case / domain:** [e.g., climate policy / SaaS industry association / municipal housing reform / open-source foundation / trade negotiation / internal company OKR adoption]

**Situation:**
- Collective goal or public good at stake: […]
- Relevant groups and approximate sizes: […]
- Current institutions / rules: […]
- Observed failure or friction: [inaction / capture / slow reform / free-riding / symbolic politics]

**What I need from you:**
1. Classify the group(s) (privileged / intermediate / latent) and explain free-rider dynamics.
2. Map concentrated vs. diffuse interests and likely organizers vs. free-riders.
3. Diagnose whether this is mainly a **collective action failure**, a **distributional coalition / sclerosis** problem, or both.
4. Propose 3–5 **selective incentives** or institutional redesigns that could change the equilibrium.
5. Rank options by political/organizational feasibility and flag second-order risks.
6. End with a crisp **Olsonian bottom line**.

**Constraints:** Prefer mechanisms over moralizing. State assumptions if data is missing. Keep the answer structured for decision-makers.
