What this capability changes
Partner categories are separated so data provenance, technical access and professional service responsibilities remain clear.
Extend the platform through approved connectors, implementation partners and specialist bid support. The design starts with a commercial question and preserves the trail back to the authoritative record, instead of forcing a team to trust a relevance label it cannot inspect.
How it works in the platform
A partner directory can show verified capabilities and evidence without implying endorsement beyond the documented status.
Source identity, observation time, transformations and user decisions remain separate fields. That distinction allows the product to update a notice without erasing what a user saw when a pursuit decision was made.
Production controls
Commercial terms, customer consent and conflict controls are agreed before referrals or shared workspaces are activated.
Deployment begins with a source register, access roles, retention rules and measurable acceptance criteria. Features that depend on customer systems or third-party rights remain disabled until those dependencies are approved.
