Implementation partner track · qualification-gated · certified delivery leads

Deliver KYE Protocol™ as a KYE System Integrator™.

The KYE System Integrator™ track is the productised delivery arm of the partner programme. You bring the implementation capability and the customer relationship; KYE™ provides the published contracts, the conformance pack, the certified-engineer enablement, and the revocable badge. You bill your own services and earn a referral margin on the licence — you never resell the protocol's internals, and you never hold authority to bind KYE™.

What the System Integrator track is

The System Integrator (SI) is one of the ten canonical KYE™ partner types. An SI is an implementation partner that delivers KYE Protocol™ deployments — pilot delivery, conformance-prep and certification-prep — for regulated enterprises. The SI bills its own implementation services; the KYE™ licence is sold separately and earns the SI a referral margin.

The boundary that keeps it defensible. The SI integrates against the published contracts — the schemas, the SDK, the Conformance Pack, and the Evidence Pack™ verification surface (verifiable offline from published keys). The protocol's runtime internals, decision mechanism, pricing logic, other partners' commercials, and other tenants' evidence are never disclosed — to any partner, under any agreement. The SI holds no authority to bind KYE™, vary product terms, or issue warranties; any KYE-product commitment to a customer is in KYE™'s own contract.

Three delivery-capability tiers

The track is a capability ladder, not a commercial ranking. It confers no exclusive territory and no white-glove tier above the partner programme's Tier-3. Promotion is earned on proven, evidenced delivery.

  • Associate — entry tier, no platform fee. Name a certified delivery lead, execute the Mutual NDA, and deliver pilots and conformance-prep under tenant-segregated credentials. No public badge yet. Promotes to Certified on proven reference deployments.
  • Certified — the proven tier. Unlocks the KYE-Certified System Integrator™ badge (certified state only), certified-engineer enablement, and the deal-registration portal. Requires at least two completed reference deployments plus professional-indemnity and public-liability insurance.
  • Premier — the scaled, multi-sector tier. Adds multi-sector certified capability, named-account governance, and a quarterly business review. Still no exclusivity; two consecutive missed reviews trigger a downgrade.

The badge is a revocable licensed mark

The KYE-Certified System Integrator™ badge renders only while at least one named delivery lead holds a current certification (the certified state). It is suspended on certification lapse and revoked on a disclosure breach or a no-governance-compete breach, following the canonical badge state machine draft → certified → suspended ↔ revoked. On suspension or termination, the SI ceases all use of the mark.

How an engagement works

  • Certified delivery lead on every engagement — delivery by an uncertified lead is a material breach.
  • Tenant data segregation — KYE-issued tenant credentials per engagement; no cross-tenant access (GDPR Art. 28(3)(b)).
  • Deal registration — register the licence opportunity within 5 business days of qualification to earn the published referral margin on first-year licence value.
  • Services liability is the SI's — the SI carries its own insurance and contracts; KYE™ liability is limited to the product as licensed.
