1. Close The First Cycle Properly
Expansion should start after one clean handoff, one clean payout loop, and one clear proof of value. Do not build on a messy first cycle.

A good partner deal should create leverage after it closes. The next step might be another sprint, monthly support, one more intro, a reusable proof asset, or a broader repeat lane. This page keeps that expansion logic compact and reusable.
Partner Expansion
Expansion should start after one clean handoff, one clean payout loop, and one clear proof of value. Do not build on a messy first cycle.
Open Partner Handoff Open Partner PayoutThe next move is usually one of these: another sprint, a monthly retainer, one more intro, a repeatable buyer lane, or a proof asset that helps future partner deals move faster.
Open Partner Retainer Open Channel RepeatIf the result was useful, ask the partner for one more buyer, operator, or account with the same bottleneck instead of a vague promise to send business later.

Open Payment PageBest Expansion Motions
Best when the partner sees another clear bottleneck in the same account and the next step should stay project-shaped.
Best when the value now comes from upkeep, iteration, monitoring, or white-label monthly delivery rather than another concentrated sprint.
Best when the partner knows another account with the same pattern and can route a similar opportunity quickly.
Best when the outcome is strong enough that a short proof asset will accelerate future partner conversations.
Best when the first result proves the partner can route this same kind of buyer more than once without custom deal logic.
Short Lines
Now that the first cycle is working, the next obvious move may be one more narrow sprint rather than broadening this one quietly.
If the need is now ongoing rather than project-shaped, the clean version is to define the monthly rule before the second cycle starts.
If this worked, the easiest expansion may be one more aligned intro with the same bottleneck rather than a broad referral ask.
One short proof asset from this result can make the next partner conversation materially easier to close.
Best Next Routes
If the next move is recurring work, define the monthly rights, ownership, and renewal rhythm first.
Open Partner RetainerIf the next move is another project-shaped cycle, define the second-sprint scope, approval, and economics here first.
Open Partner RenewalIf the bigger goal is scale across similar accounts, route back to the repeat page and stabilize the buyer pattern.
Open Channel RepeatIf the easiest next move is a single aligned introduction, route to the referral-forward page and package the ask tightly.
Open Partner Referral ForwardIf the ask is decided and the partner now needs something easy to resend, route to the intro-pack page next.
Open Partner Intro PackIf the result is strong but under-documented, route to the proof page and capture something reusable.
Open Partner Proof CaptureIf the next motion is understood but still needs founder or finance approval, route to the approval page.

Keep the post-win step narrow: confirm the model, confirm the payer, move the funds, and attach the proof to the next cycle.
