Who decides the Team PI Objective Business Value scoring after negotiation?

During PI Planning, after Agile Teams present their draft plans and PI objectives, the Business Owners circulate and assign a business value (on a scale of 1-10) to each objective. This is a collaborative process involving negotiation and conversation with the team, but the final decision on the value score rests with the Business Owners. They have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the team's plans align with business and customer needs, and this scoring is a key mechanism for that alignment.

A. Product Management: Product Management is responsible for prioritizing the ART backlog (Features), but Business Owners quantify the value of the team's PI objectives.
C. The Agile Team: The Agile Team writes the PI objectives and commits to them, but they do not assign the external business value; they receive this feedback from the Business Owners.
D. The RTE: The Release Train Engineer (RTE) facilitates the PI Planning event and serves the ART, but they do not have the authority to assign business value.
