Strategic Partnership Opportunity Evaluator
Evaluate a potential strategic partnership, teaming agreement, or joint venture for architectural business development. This prompt helps architecture firms assess whether a partnership opportunity aligns with their strategic goals, what value each party brings, and what the key terms and risks of the arrangement are.
This prompt evaluates a proposed teaming arrangement, joint venture, or strategic alliance against the firm's stated strategic goals, producing a structured assessment covering strategic alignment rating, a value exchange analysis (what each party contributes and whether it is balanced), near-term and long-term business opportunity projections, a risk assessment spanning client conflicts, IP protection, quality control exposure, and dissolution complexity, a due diligence checklist of information to verify before formalizing, a recommended structure with key terms to negotiate, and a decision recommendation. Legal review of any teaming or joint venture agreement is required before signing — this prompt is a pre-legal evaluation framework, not a substitute for construction attorney review. It is for architecture firm principals evaluating business development partnership opportunities.

How to use this prompt
1. Gather factual information about the proposed partner (recent projects, client references, financial stability) before running the analysis — the evaluation is only as good as the inputs.
2. Be honest about your own firm's strategic goals in the inputs — an evaluation that misrepresents your goals will produce irrelevant recommendations.
3. Use the due diligence checklist to structure reference checks before any commitment.
