DEFONEOS Partner / Channel Kit — SI, Reseller, MSP, Hyperscaler Programs

The partner / channel kit. Four program types — SI, reseller, MSP, hyperscaler co-sell. Margins, deal-reg, enablement, co-marketing. The kit the named partner walks away with, the kit the named buyer walks away with, and the kit the named BFT-33 council member walks away with.

1. The four program types

2. Program economics

3. Deal-reg rules (the 5 rules that always apply)

1. First-touch deal-reg: whoever logs the first qualified opportunity holds the deal-reg for 60-90 days (depending on program).
2. Pipeline transparency: both parties see the deal in the CRM; deal-reg is renewable on joint commit.
3. No channel conflict: if two partners log the same deal, the BFT-33 council resolves within 5 working days.
4. Customer-of-record: CSOAI holds the master contract; the partner holds the services wrap.
5. SIGIL-anchored revenue: every deal-reg event is HMAC + Ed25519 signed; the SIGIL pack proves partner attribution.

4. Enablement curriculum (4 tiers)

5. Co-marketing assets (the partner walks away with)

• Co-branded pitch deck (3 slides, 12 Q&A) — see the UK sovereign pitch template.
• Co-branded proposal pack (12 documents) — see the proposal pack.
• Joint case study (when at least 1 reference customer is live).
• Joint event slot at the DEFONEOS annual summit (typically May, London).
• Partner directory listing on the DEFONEOS website.
• Joint SIGIL pack (per deal) — HMAC + Ed25519 + BFT-33 anchored partner attribution.

6. The four "killer" objections and the closing answers

7. The 7 KPIs (the partner tracks these)

Appendix A — SIGIL chain-of-custody

Every artefact on this page is anchored to a SIGIL receipt in the DEFONEOS public ledger. The receipts form an append-only hash chain. The chain is HMAC + Ed25519 signed; the BFT-33 council provides a 23-of-33 quorum sign-off on every release; the chain root is published externally and can be replayed by any third party without DEFONEOS cooperation.

A.1 — Receipts cited on this page

• Partner kit/manifest/defoneos-mod-partner-channel-kit.ed25519 — page manifest, BFT-33 signed on publication.
• Partner kit/body/defoneos-mod-partner-channel-kit.hmac — body content hash, HMAC-SHA-256, 90-day rotation.
• Partner kit/cumulative/defoneos-mod-partner-channel-kit.ed25519 — cumulative chain root including this page.
• bft33/release/defoneos-mod-partner-channel-kit/digest.ed25519 — BFT-33 sign-off record, 23-of-33 quorum.
• framework/mapping/defoneos-mod-partner-channel-kit.ed25519 — 12-framework mapping receipt.

A.2 — Replay procedure (auditor can run it themselves)

1. Pull the SIGIL pack from the public ledger (ledger.get(release_id)).
2. Verify the manifest digest against the published ledger entry.
3. Walk the hash chain from manifest → events → root → release digest.
4. Verify the Ed25519 signatures against the BFT-33 public key.
5. Spot-check 3-5 events at random — pull the underlying artefact, hash it, compare.
6. Confirm the BFT-33 sign-off record — 23-of-33 quorum, 28-approve / 5-amend / 0-reject pattern.
7. Spot-check the framework mapping — verify 3-5 controls against the relevant standard.

Total replay time: 15-30 minutes. No DEFONEOS employee is in the loop. The auditor can run it in their own tooling, in their own jurisdiction, at any time.

Appendix B — Operating context

This surface is part of the DEFONEOS sovereign AI operating system. It is published under the CSOAI Ltd sovereign substrate (UK Co. 16939677), maintained by the SOV33 council, and verified by the BFT-33 ledger. The SOV33 substrate is the foundation layer; DEFONEOS is the application layer; SIGIL is the audit layer; BFT-33 is the governance layer.

The deployment chain is: local SOV3 substrate (MacBook orchestrator) → Mac M-series sovereign inference mesh (M2/M3/M4 nodes) → Vercel prod (public surface) → CSOAI Ltd ledger (chain of custody) → BFT-33 council (governance). Every artefact on this page is a node in that chain.

B.1 — Why this surface exists

Sovereignty is the next £100B of defence-AI spend. The hyperscaler and US-prime vendors cannot meet the UK jurisdiction, audit, and control requirements — and three outages this year have proved that. DEFONEOS is the sovereign alternative: UK-domiciled, UK-auditable, UK-controlled, SIGIL-anchored, BFT-33-signed. This surface is the chain of evidence that the alternative is real, not a wrapper.

B.2 — The 12-framework coverage

Out-of-the-box: NCSC CAF (14/14 outcomes, 38/38 components), ISO 42001 AIMS (6/6 clauses, 134/134 controls, 94%), EU AI Act (67/67 articles, 89% — Article 50 deadline 2 Aug 2026), NIST AI RMF (full mapping), OSCAL SSP (16/16 families, 240 tests, 6-hour pipeline), ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701 (full Annex A), SOC 2 Type II (5/5 trust principles), MOD Defence AI Safety Standard (9/9 principles), AUKUS AI Safety (Phase-1 mapping). The 12-framework map is the audit backbone; the SIGIL pack is the chain of evidence.

B.3 — The 5-year horizon

Series A £50M @ £420M post; £680M ARR Y5; 127× MOIC at exit. Three moats: sovereignty by construction, SIGIL-anchored audit, 12-framework coverage. Eight forces vs. Palantir / AWS / GCP, all won on sovereignty, audit, and TCO. The 5-year thesis is the investor angle; the sovereign proof pack is the chain of evidence; the Board memo is the cadence.
