Build a security practice on it, not just a reseller line
Partner tiers are earned through certification rather than volume, because a partner who can deploy and defend the product is worth more to both of us than one who can only quote it.
Every requirement below is one credential, held by a named person, sat against a published blueprint. The exams are free — all of them — so a tier is reached by learning the product rather than by committing to a number. Because each exam requires the one below it, a single engineer can carry a partner all the way to Advanced.
