Two assessments. Two revenue lines. Plus the remediation work that follows.
Deliver Preside RC4 Readiness™ and Preside AI Governance™ under a co-branded model. You source the client and own the relationship. We own the methodology and IP. Reports read: Prepared by [Partner] · Powered by Preside. Most of the revenue you generate is on the remediation that follows.
Partner Economics
What a typical RC4 engagement looks like for a partner
Representative numbers from active partner engagements. AI Governance™ engagements run similar economics. Specific revenue share and pricing structures negotiated per partner.
SAMPLE PARTNER P&L · ONE RC4 ENGAGEMENT
Mid-market client · ~$200M revenue
| Phase | Engagement | Partner Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Co-branded RC4 Readiness™ assessment | $22k |
| Phase 2 | Kerberos & Active Directory hardening | $34k |
| Phase 3 | Legacy TLS stack migration | $28k |
| Phase 4 | PCI-DSS 4.0 evidence collection & advisory | $18k |
| Phase 5 | Ongoing posture monitoring (annual) | $10k |
| Total over 12 months | $112k | |
Branded assessment IP differentiates the proposal in competitive situations. Remediation typically runs 4–5× assessment revenue. Many engagements convert to annual posture-monitoring retainers.
How the Partnership Works
Co-branded delivery, not white-label
The Preside brand is always on the assessment. Both names appear on the report. Both signatures appear on the engagement. The methodology IP stays with Preside; the client relationship stays with you.
Partner originates
You source the client and frame the assessment within your existing advisory practice and relationship.
Preside delivers
We run the assessment methodology — RC4 or AI Governance — using our proprietary framework and tooling.
Both brands present
Report headline: Prepared by [Partner] · Powered by Preside RC4 Readiness™.
Partner owns remediation
You retain the follow-on remediation work and the client relationship. We support as needed.
What the Report Looks Like
Both signatures. Both logos. Your relationship, our methodology.
The deliverable is a co-branded report that lands differently than a generic audit. Your name reassures the client of continuity. Preside's framework name signals proprietary IP and methodology rigor.
This is the differentiator in competitive situations: "Prepared by [Your firm] · Powered by Preside RC4 Readiness™" beats a vendor-neutral checklist every time.
