# Partnership Scoring

> Score and prioritize potential partners against your criteria.

Partnership Scoring helps you evaluate a list of potential business partners and figure out which ones are actually worth your time. Instead of reviewing every candidate by hand, your coworker scores each one against the criteria that matter most to you and hands back a ranked shortlist.

<Info>
  This is a specialized skill for business development and partnerships teams. See [Skills](/en/skills/overview) for how skills work more broadly.

## What it does

* **Scores every candidate the same way.** Each potential partner is evaluated consistently against your chosen criteria — for example, strategic fit, reach, risk, or momentum.
* **Adapts to your priorities.** The criteria and how heavily each one counts are customizable, because every organization weighs these things differently.
* **Explains the ranking.** You don't just get a number — you get the reasoning behind it, so you can see why one candidate ranked above another.
* **Focuses your outreach.** The result is a shortlist you can act on immediately, rather than a spreadsheet you still need to interpret.

## Who it's for

Partnership Scoring is built for business development and partnerships teams that regularly evaluate many potential collaborators — agencies, technology vendors, distribution partners, or co-marketing opportunities — and need to prioritize where to spend limited outreach time.

For example, a partnerships lead evaluating twenty potential regional distributors might hand the list to their coworker along with the criteria that matter most (market reach, existing relationships, financial stability) and get back a ranked shortlist with clear reasoning, ready to guide the first round of outreach.
