Welcome to your Negotiator!

This is a negotiation support system used for research and education. A commercial version is available at wegain.nl.

The Negotiator collaborates with you in your upcoming negotiation to make it a pleasant experience. The negotiator can be used for preparation (training sessions), to provide support during actual negotiations, and for mediating support.

Throughout the process you will prepare yourself, understand what you and the other really want, find arrangements that suit both sides and finally come to a successful deal.
