1. Implement a Weighted Decision Matrix (WDM) with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) 2. Pilot Testing with a Blue-Green Deployment Approach 3. Consensus Through AI-Assisted Simulation 4. Use a Blockchain-based Voting Mechanism for Transparency 5. Adopt a Dual Encryption Strategy (Layered Security Approach) 6. Form a Cryptographic Council and Implement a Rotating Standard Policy

I'll ensure the encryption standard aligns with the project's performance, security, and requirements. I'll be Using metrics like computational overhead, encryption strength Testing conflicting solutions under expected workload conditions to assess real-world performance and resource usage.

We need to start off with a technical study of the options, using a weighted matrix to compare how secure is the algorithm (e.g., AES-256, RSA-4096), Impact on database query speed and latency (Performance), Ease of integration with existing infrastructure and also look at a mix of options like considering maybe symmetric encryption for data-at-rest and asymmetric encryption for key exchanges. After there is clarity on the best approach to use, we need to work on team dynamics to get everyone on board aligned toward the researched and selected options.

1. check minimum requirements by client and regulatory 2. check specific RDBMS best practices and supported standard 3. check company security polices for any directions 4. Analyze performance impact, maintenance overhead and implementation effort 5. prepare report with minimal accepted and proposed standards and TCO

To navigate this conflict, I would facilitate an open discussion to understand each perspective, align decisions with project requirements, and consult industry standards or experts as needed. I’d organize a comparative analysis of the options, aiming for consensus. If no agreement is reached, I’d escalate to a senior decision-maker and document the final choice for clarity and accountability.
