The buyer question

A clear partnership standard, responsibilities and measurable execution path.

What is available to evaluate

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 verify next

A partnership should direct customers to an available, accurately described product and a supported channel. Reach, availability, sell through and repeat purchase remain separate measures.

Evidence to evaluate next
  • Confirm current product facts, price, geography, inventory and fulfilment at the linked official destination.
  • Availability and awareness should be evaluated separately from sell through and repeat purchase.
