Executive summary

A method for proving what a channel partner expansion has actually delivered against its promised benefits, and deciding what to scale, fix, or stop.

What is inside

What the benefits review covers

The asset walks a finance partner and channel lead through building the benefits register, freezing the counterfactual baseline, testing every claimed benefit for attribution errors, explaining variances against the phased plan, re-grading the business case assumptions, and running the quarterly review that converts the evidence into decisions. It ends with an attested benefits position, a variance analysis, and a standing review agenda.

Scope: reconciling a live channel partner expansion against the benefits its investment case promised
Building a benefits register from the approved case and the frozen assumption register
Attribution discipline: separating program-caused results from baseline growth, influence claims, and double counting
Explaining the gap between planned and delivered benefit, cause by cause
A quarterly review cadence that ends in continue, adjust, scale, or stop decisions
Re-testing the frozen business case assumptions against delivered results
A forecast at completion tested against the viability floor set at the investment gate

How to use it

How teams use it

Teams use it from the first quarter after the expansion goes live through benefits close-out. The finance partner attests the attributed position each quarter, the channel lead explains the variance bridge, and the sponsor chairs the review and signs the decisions. Communities of practice use the attribution test to audit each other's benefit claims.
