Common questions

What is partner program TCO?

Partner program TCO is the full annual cost of running partnerships, including partner manager headcount, PRM and co-sell tools, SaaS seats, and AI usage.

How does Paai reduce partner program costs?

Paai replaces point tools in the partner tech stack and automates manual partner work, so the tool spend it replaces is higher than its annual cost.

How is new partner revenue calculated?

Desired partner revenue reflects the 30% of time partner managers spend driving revenue today. Paai shifts the manual 70% to strategic work, so partner revenue is modeled at 3.3x.
