CITY PARTNERSHIPS
A shared foundation. A private operating advantage.
A small number of service businesses in one market can build on common regional and technical foundations while each company keeps its own operating context, rules, customers, jobs, economics and learning private.
What stays private
Company-private by default:
- customers and prospects
- jobs and projects
- crews and employee information
- pricing and margins
- bids and estimates
- purchasing terms
- authority thresholds
- SOPs and exception rules
- proprietary workflows
- historical decisions
- learned company preferences
- measurements
- financial and strategic information
How a city cohort works
The point is not to split one generic software product between competitors. The point is to avoid rebuilding the same non-competitive foundation repeatedly while keeping each company's operating advantage separate.
- Shared foundation
- Private implementation
- First proof
Competitive boundaries
Shared participation must not become a venue for exchanging competitively sensitive information.
Keep price, margin, bids, customers, negotiated purchasing terms, compensation, job economics and competitive plans out of shared cohort sessions.
Direct-competitor cohorts should receive appropriate legal review where needed.
