The problem
I do the analysis, they present it as theirs. Raising it directly feels like career suicide but staying quiet is eroding my standing.
What we told them
Stop fighting for credit in the room and start creating a record outside it. Send the analysis by email to the wider group before the meeting, with your name on it and a one-line summary. You are not accusing anyone; you are making the provenance boring and obvious. Credit disputes are won by whoever has the timestamp, and this costs you nothing politically.
