Joint go-to-market or distribution relationship where the fit is material enough to justify custom commercial terms.

Revenue share, licence, listing or integration economics by agreement
Discuss a platform route →Approved providers with a defined buy-box or referral programme
A separate commercial lane in which Aperture researches fit and qualifying signals for approved third-party programmes. The provider delivers its own service; no provider performs Aperture client research.

Minimum friction
Short application, role-specific information and fast provisional approval where risk is low. No unnecessary training session or meeting is required by default.
One primary route
Each transaction uses one primary commercial route. Discounts, commissions and referral economics do not stack unless expressly approved.
Evidence work stays with Aperture
Partners may distribute, introduce or instruct. They do not make Aperture findings or execute Aperture client research.
Compliance before payout
Attribution, disclosure, opt-outs, sanctions, privacy and any profession-specific fee-sharing restrictions remain controlling.
Separate operational route
