Define the opportunity
Start with the product or project, target market, delivery location and intended timeline. A concise scope helps partners assess whether there is a practical fit.
Align responsibilities
Clarify the role of each party in sourcing, financing, operations, inspection and customer delivery. Identify approvals and dependencies early so that a proposal can be evaluated consistently.
Move from discussion to execution
Use agreed specifications, documented milestones and named business contacts. Commercial discussions become commitments only through the appropriate written agreements.
