About this prompt
This prompt helps Partner and Channel Managers root-cause why a specific partner is underperforming and get an honest read on whether they're worth saving. It produces a likely root cause, an evidence test, a fix-or-exit recommendation, and either an improvement plan or a clean wind-down. Use it when a partner is consistently missing expectations and you need to decide where your time goes.When a partner keeps under-delivering, the worst move is to keep investing on autopilot, and the second worst is to cut them without knowing why they're stalling. This prompt diagnoses the real cause: capability, motivation, fit, enablement, or bandwidth, since each demands a completely different response. You provide the partner and expected role in PARTNER, WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DELIVER, their actual results in WHAT THEY'RE PRODUCING VS. EXPECTED, your observations in ACTIVITY LEVELS, ENGAGEMENT, EXCUSES, SIGNALS, the support you've given in ENABLEMENT, INCENTIVES, ATTENTION GIVEN, and how long it's gone on in DURATION. It returns an evidence test to confirm or rule out each cause, a candid fix-or-exit fork, and either a focused improvement plan with milestones or a graceful wind-down that doesn't burn the bridge. Use this for one partner in trouble, not a portfolio-wide ranking, where the scorecard prompt fits better. The tip: fill the support field honestly, because if the cause is that you failed them on enablement, the fix is on your side, not a hard conversation with them.The prompt
