Partner Framework
Clear rules for scalable growth.
If the network is going to scale seriously, attribution, revenue share, territory, and exclusivity need to be defined cleanly.
Attribution
A partner is credited when the originating introduction is documented and acknowledged by HQ before proposal stage.
If a lead already exists in the studio pipeline, attribution remains with HQ unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Introductions must be commercially relevant and result in an active opportunity, not just a contact handoff.
Payout Timing
Revenue share is paid only after the client has paid the studio and the relevant invoice has cleared.
Payouts are typically processed on an agreed monthly or project milestone basis.
No payout is triggered on unsigned scopes, unpaid invoices, or speculative introductions.
Territory Logic
Territories are not automatically exclusive. They are granted selectively based on market strength and active performance.
HQ can reserve strategic accounts, sectors, or city segments where direct control is required.
A city can be protected for a partner only when there is clear output, discipline, and active opportunity development.
Exclusivity
Exclusivity is earned, not assumed. It depends on market quality, volume, conduct, and execution consistency.
Inactive partners or weak market development can result in exclusivity being reduced, restructured, or removed.
All exclusivity terms should be explicitly documented in a signed partner agreement.
Commercial Control
Pricing, scoping, proposals, delivery, and client terms remain under Zurich HQ control.
Partners cannot independently promise features, timelines, or terms outside approved studio standards.
The model is built to protect brand quality and avoid fragmented service delivery across markets.
This page is the operating framework, not the full legal partner agreement. Before activating a market, territory, attribution, revenue-share structure, termination logic, and account exceptions should be finalized in writing.
Next Step
If you can represent a relevant market, submit your application. The next step is a structured discussion about fit, access, and deal model.
