Evaluate the proposed partnership in {partnership_context}, reasoning past the appeal of a logo on a slide. (1) State what each side actually needs from the other and whether the needs are complementary and roughly balanced, because lopsided partnerships where one side gains far more decay quickly, and a partnership without a clear mutual need is a press release, not a relationship. (2) Test strategic fit: does this advance a real objective, or is it a distraction dressed as opportunity — partnerships consume scarce attention, and a marginally-useful one can cost more in focus than it returns. (3) Assess the execution reality: who does what, how success is measured, and whether both organizations will actually resource it after the announcement — most partnerships fail not at signing but at the neglected follow-through. (4) Identify the dependency and downside risks: what you're giving the partner (access, data, customers) that could enable them to compete, and how hard the partnership is to exit if it sours. (5) Weigh the opportunity cost: the alternative uses of the same effort, including partnering with someone else or doing it alone. (6) State whether to proceed, the terms that most protect you, and the single factor most likely to determine whether it works — since good partnerships are built on aligned incentives, not goodwill. Present the case a skeptic would make against it.
