The commercial question

A clear partnership standard, responsibilities and measurable execution path.

The operating signal

A useful partnership should answer five questions: who is it for, what will each party do, which product and rights are involved, where will demand go, and what result will decide the next move?

What to measure next

Use the five questions to test whether the proposed relationship has an accountable owner, executable assets, valid rights, a working demand path and a result that can change the next investment decision.
