Partner Risk Due Diligence Review

Use this skill to convert a partner risk due diligence, integrations, data sharing, brand fit, incentives, legal/privacy/security exposure, and exit plans question into a concrete artifact with owners, gates, metrics, and recovery paths.

Workflow

1. Identify partner type, user value, data exchanged, dependency depth, commercial terms, brand exposure, support impact, and exit cost.
2. Read references/partner-risk-due-diligence-patterns.md.
3. Classify partner motion: integration, reseller, agency, affiliate, marketplace supply, creator, data partner, AI provider, or co-marketing.
4. Define risk review, evidence, data boundaries, contract terms, support model, monitoring, incentives, escalation, and termination/exit path.
5. Produce partner due diligence plan, state machine, decision table, event schema, checklist, and ongoing review cadence.

When not to use

• Do not use for generic advice the base model already handles without this skill's specific artifact contract.

Guardrails

• Do not integrate or co-market before data-sharing, support, brand, legal, privacy, and security responsibilities are explicit.
• Do not let revenue upside hide dependency risk, customer confusion, or misaligned incentives.
• Do not share customer data or leads without consent, minimization, and legal basis.
• Do not launch a partner dependency without degradation, offboarding, and customer communication paths.
