Partner selection · The partnership case · Element
The alternatives
Building, buying, hiring or doing without, each costed against the partnership.

What it is
Partnering is frequently chosen because it requires no capital and no headcount approval, which are procedural advantages rather than strategic ones.
The alternative that is almost never costed is doing without, and it is sometimes the right answer.

The attributes it carries
Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
