Executive summary

An anchored assessment of whether the organization can actually run a scaled partner channel, and which of its current partners could scale with it.

What is inside

What the assessment covers

The asset defines eight vendor-side capability areas, gives each a five-level anchored rubric, walks the team through evidence-backed scoring and a calibration session, screens every active and pipeline partner for scalability, computes a readiness index, and turns every low score into a registered gap with an owner and a remediation route.

Scope: eight vendor-side capability areas a scaled partner channel depends on
Anchored scoring rubrics with behavioral descriptions per level
Evidence rules: every score backed by a named artifact or record
A scalability screen applied to the existing and pipeline partner base
A channel readiness index and score dispersion analysis
A capability gap register ranked by criticality, with owners
Calibration practice so different scorers reach the same score

How to use it

How teams use it

Teams run it immediately after the channel evidence baseline signs off, calibrate scores on a shared case before scoring for real, and hand the readiness index, partner screen and gap register to the assumptions pack and the options appraisal, where capability gaps become expansion costs and conditions.
