Frequently asked questions
How do I decide if I should build a feature or partner for it?
Use the provided decision tree: build if the capability is core to product differentiation, or if building it does not delay the roadmap by more than six months. Otherwise, pursue a partnership if a credible partner exists who also needs your product.
What is the difference between a partnership and a handshake?
A real partnership requires economic commitment, product roadmap alignment, executive sponsorship, and mutual risk. If both sides can walk away with zero cost, it is a handshake, not a partnership.
How should I structure partner tiers?
Use a three-tier model: Tier 1 (Integration Partner/Self-Serve), Tier 2 (Partnership Partner/Joint Development), and Tier 3 (Strategic Partner/Co-Development).
What is the Crawl-Walk-Run deployment model?
It is a phased validation approach: Crawl (4-8 weeks, 1-2 pilot customers), Walk (8-12 weeks, 5-10 customers, formal integration), and Run (6-12 months, full-scale deployment).
