# partnership_synergies

Identify and rank strategic partnership opportunities for a company. Returns 5-12 high-fit partnership targets, each scored on revenue lift, time-to-impact, integration complexity and regulatory risk, with a rationale and a recommended first-step outreach playbook. When to use this tool: the user wants business-development or alliance ideas, or M&A target screening before deeper due diligence. Inputs: the user's own company and the strategic axis to unlock through partnership (e.g. enter a new market via distribution, add AI infrastructure without rebuilding). Delivered by Antoine, the AI CSO of the Gapup portfolio.
