Resell KYE™ subscriptions to your own customers under a wholesale margin. You transact the sale and provide first-line commercial support. Model: resell-bundle.
Partner program · partner types
Nine partner types, one canonical taxonomy.
Every way to partner with KYE Protocol™ maps to one of nine partner types, each with a defined commercial model. This page is the public projection of that taxonomy — what each type is, how value flows, and how to engage. The exact rate for any type is agreed privately in the partnership contract; we publish the model, not the number.

The nine partner types
Pick the type that matches how you go to market.
A partner type is not a separate program — it is a specialisation of the one Universal Engagement Rail. The taxonomy is canonical: every type appears exactly once, with exactly one commercial model and one set of legal terms.
System Integrator
Deliver KYE™ deployments, pilot delivery, and certification prep. You bill your own implementation; the KYE™ licence earns you a referral margin. Model: services.
Solution Provider / ISV
Embed KYE™ inside your own product under the licensed Governed by KYE™ mark, on a per-tenant licence. Model: resell-bundle (embed).
Connector / Technology
Ship a documented KYE™ integration profile and co-sell into regulated buyers. KYE™ governs; your runtime executes. No integration fee. Model: co-sell.
Distributor
Carry KYE™ at wholesale across a region or sector and supply a downstream network of resellers. Optional exclusivity, capped and performance-gated. Model: resell-bundle.
Referral / Affiliate
Introduce qualified opportunities and earn a commission on closed-won deals. Introduction only — no transacting, no delivery, no authority. Model: referral.
Strategic / OEM
White-label or co-brand under a negotiated, board-approved structure with deep co-engineering. Model: co-sell, negotiated.
Auditor
Independent, accredited, or certified auditor assessing KYE™-deployed tenants. You bill your own audit work; independence means no margin on the KYE™ licence. Model: services.
Trainer
Certified instructor or training organisation delivering KYE™ training and certification under a revenue share. Model: productize.
Productising a governance framework of your own? That is the KYE™ Sector Pack Foundry™ — the expert-pack partner type, with its own three-tier program.
Commercial models
Five models cover every type.
Each partner type uses exactly one commercial model. The model tells you how value flows; the precise rate is set in your contract.
| Model | How value flows | Used by |
|---|---|---|
| Referral | You introduce; KYE™ transacts and delivers; you earn a commission on first-year value. | Referral / Affiliate |
| Resell-bundle | You sell KYE™ under a wholesale margin and own the customer relationship. | Reseller, Distributor, Solution Provider / ISV |
| Co-sell | Joint motion with shared credit; you bring a runtime or a market, KYE™ brings governance. | Connector / Technology, Strategic / OEM |
| Productize | You author a pack or curriculum; KYE™ distributes and certifies it; revenue is shared. | Foundry / Expert-Pack, Trainer |
| Services | You bill your own services; the KYE™ licence is sold separately and may earn you a referral margin. | System Integrator, Auditor |
Every type also carries a licensed, revocable badge governed by the single KYE™-Powered Pack™ badge state machine — a badge renders only while the partner stays conformant and within the disclosure boundary.
What we share — and what we don't
You get the contract, never the internals.
Every partnership has a clear disclosure boundary. As a contracted partner you receive the partnership contract surface: your commercial model, your commitments, your legal terms, and the marks you are licensed to use. You never receive KYE™ platform internals — the governance mechanism, the pricing logic, other partners' rates, or tenant evidence.
That is why this page names the model but not the number. Exact margins, wholesale rates, and revenue splits are agreed privately in your contract, in line with our closed-registration pricing policy. To get yours, Contact for pricing via the partnership conversation below.
How to engage
Start the partnership conversation.
Tell us which type fits how you go to market. The first call is discovery, never sales — we confirm the type, the model, and the path to a signed agreement and a verifiable badge.
