The verified record

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 changed

Partnership value is evaluated through commitments, readiness, delivery and evidence.

The reporting angle

This is WPG Newsroom guidance written by James Cappellano. The five questions separate a relationship announcement from the audience, duties, rights, destination and result needed to evaluate it.

Evidence to evaluate next
  • Use the linked sources for attribution and current facts.
  • Treat product availability, commercial results and third party relationships as current only when their dated records support them.
