Analyze a partnership between CloudSync (Candidate A) and DataGuard (Candidate B) for a secure storage integration. Focus on commercial terms and API dependencies.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the strategic partnership due-diligence
The analysis of CloudSync and DataGuard for the secure storage integration is complete. The review identifies a critical dependency on DataGuard's proprietary encryption API and an ambiguity in the revenue-share model for renewals.
Strategic Partnership Due-Diligence Brief
Objective: Secure storage integration |
Analysis Date: 2023-10-27 |
Evidence Coverage: Medium (Website, API Docs, Draft Terms)
Partner Comparison
| Criterion | CloudSync (A) | DataGuard (B) | Evidence / confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Capability | Multi-cloud sync | AES-256 Encryption | High (API Docs) |
| Integration Maturity | RESTful Webhooks | Proprietary SDK | Medium (Docs) |
| Market Presence | SME Segment | Enterprise/Gov | High (Case Studies) |
Commercial & Incentive Analysis
CloudSync proposes a 15% referral fee for new leads. DataGuard requires a 24-month exclusivity period for the "Gold" tier. Lead ownership for cross-sells is currently undefined in the draft, creating a potential incentive conflict for account managers.
Risk Register
| Risk | Evidence / mechanism | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation | Owner / question |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| API Lock-in | DataGuard uses non-standard SDK | High | High | Define export path | CTO / Exit plan? |
| Margin Erosion | Fixed referral + rising storage cost | Medium | Medium | Tiered pricing | CFO / Margin floor? |
Weighted Scorecard
| Criterion | Weight | Rating | Evidence confidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strategic Fit | 20% | 4 | High | Strong segment overlap |
| Capability Fit | 15% | 5 | High | Complementary tech |
| Risk/Dependency | 10% | 2 | Medium | SDK dependency is high |
Calculated Score: 3.8 / 5.0 (Effective weight adjusted for 2 unknown criteria).
Next steps
- Request the specific API documentation for the encryption SDK exit-path.
- Clarify lead ownership terms for customers who downgrade then re-subscribe.
- Review the 24-month exclusivity clause with legal to ensure it doesn't block existing roadmaps.

About this skill
Vetting a strategic partner requires moving past marketing decks to uncover operational dependencies and commercial friction. This skill provides a structured framework to audit potential partnerships, mapping complementary capabilities against hard risks like vendor lock-in and incentive misalignment.
What it does
- Partner profiling builds comparable dossiers on capabilities, market overlap, and reputation evidence.
- Capability mapping identifies specific contributions, ownership gaps, and single-party dependencies.
- Commercial auditing reviews revenue share, lead attribution, exclusivity terms, and margin impact.
- Risk registration flags operational, data, and exit risks with likelihood and impact ratings.
- Evidence-based scoring generates weighted scorecards (1-5) based only on verified data.
How it works
- Scope definition sets the business outcome, success metrics, and time horizon.
- Profile building extracts facts from websites, terms, and documentation to populate candidate profiles.
- Gap analysis maps overlaps and fallbacks to identify where the partnership is fragile.
- Brief generation delivers a full Due-Diligence Brief including a risk register and prioritized questions.
Frameworks & tools
This skill is framework-agnostic, designed for use with Claude, GPT-4, or other LLMs capable of processing long-form business documentation and contract terms.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often overlook structural risks like "dependency concentration" or "exit constraints." This skill enforces a strict evidence-only rule, ensuring that marketing claims are treated as claims rather than facts, and prevents "unknowns" from being scored as passes.
Use cases
- Compare two software vendors for a co-selling integration strategy.
- Audit a potential joint venture partner before signing a Letter of Intent.
- Evaluate a new distribution channel partner for commercial and data risks.
- Prepare a prioritized list of evidence requests for a second-round partner meeting.
Known limitations
Does not provide legal, tax, or financial certification. Requires manual input of partner documentation or authorized web access to function effectively.
Not a substitute for legal or financial counsel. Scores are qualitative judgments based on provided data, not statistical probabilities. Information gaps are marked as Unknown.
