Which target audience category typically provides the resources for an effort?

While key decision makers approve projects, project sponsors are specifically responsible for *providing* or securing the resources.

Watchdogs monitor projects for compliance or performance but do not typically provide resources.

A secondary audience receives information about an effort but is not directly involved in resource provision.

Gatekeepers control access to resources or information but are not the primary providers of the resources themselves.

Project sponsors are high-level stakeholders, often executives, who champion a project, secure its funding, allocate personnel, and ensure that the necessary resources are made available for the project's successful execution.
