The Economic Model provides the complete financial and attribution logic for partnerships. It cleanly separates the calculation of value from the strategic application of that value, giving you a clear business case for any partnership activity.

Can your partnership program answer these questions?

  • What's the ROI of our partner program?
  • How much revenue do partners actually influence (not just source)?
  • Should we invest $100K in this partnership or that one?
  • What's the payback period on partner enablement?

Without a rigorous economic model, partnerships remain a "black box" investment that's first to be cut when budgets tighten.

This model fixes that.
