Channel economics: design and analyze the financial structure of go-to-market channels. Use when picking a channel mix, modeling partner margin or TCO, designing partner tiers and rebates, or analyzing channel conflict.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Channel Economics

End-to-end financial modeling and design of go-to-market channels: direct sales economics, reseller / distributor margin structures, marketplace fees, partner tier economics, channel conflict resolution, and the TCO frameworks that compare channel options apples-to-apples.

This skill provides the financial backbone for channel strategy. For strategic partnership design (which channel to invest in, how to structure the partnership), see `business-growth/partnerships-architect`. For partner-deal-level approval mechanics, see `business-growth/deal-desk`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/channel-economics@sha256:614fcd3f88dd3b14

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
