F Phase 🎯
Joint ICP Definition
Five firmographic and technographic criteria defining the ideal shared account for the ISV × Cloud × SI partnership — scoped to your geography and market size. ICP Criterion 1 always specifies the target account size band.
F Phase 📊
TAM/SAM Market Dashboard
Interactive nested circles visualisation of your Total Addressable Market and Serviceable Addressable Market, with stat cards showing CAGR, addressable account count, average deal size, and three penetration scenarios with partner revenue splits.
F Phase 🏢
Top 20 Scored Accounts
A prioritised list of 20 real companies in your target industry and geography, each scored against all 5 ICP criteria, rated Strong / Good / Partial / Weak fit, and assigned a co-sell action — Prioritise, Nurture, or Disqualify.
O Phase 📋
Partner Presence Table
A combined grid showing each partner’s status across all 20 accounts — Known Customer, Likely Prospect, Competitive Risk for the ISV; Active Platform, Evaluating, Competitive for the Cloud; Active Client, Known Relationship, No Presence for the SI.
O Phase 📝
Co-Sell Briefs
Five one-page briefs for your top priority accounts — who leads the engagement and why, the specific joint solution to position, the key buyer title and their main pain point, and the recommended first action this week.
R Phase 🗺
Competitive Landscape

R Phase
Competitive Playbook
Account-specific competitive playbook for the top 5 accounts — primary competitor, objection/response table, landmine questions to expose competitor gaps, reference to use, and the one trap to avoid that would hand the deal to the competition.
G Phase 💬

Discovery questions for the top 5 accounts — opening, pain, current state, vision, and competitive questions — plus objection/response table, MEDDIC qualification framework, and next steps by account priority tier.
G Phase 📣

Upload each partner’s account list and FORGE identifies the highest-overlap joint opportunities. For each of the top 5 accounts: a 90-day pursuit plan with team roles, weekly milestones, success criteria, and risk mitigations. Plus account intelligence — executive profiles, revenue, IT spend, and key contact details.

The agent queries HG Insights live and calls Anthropic Claude in a structured five-step workflow — ICP, scoring, profiling, competitive analysis, and GTM generation.

A sticky document navigator lets you jump between all deliverables instantly. Each document has its own Copy button. The full output is ready to paste into your partner portal, CRM, or presentation.
4
Co-sell with your partners
Hand the co-sell briefs and competitive playbook to your sales team. Share the solution brief with your partners. The GTM plan goes straight to marketing. No reformatting required.

The complete alliance execution system — from ICP to pipeline.

FORGE™ is a six-phase AI-powered framework developed by LongVentures Advisory that gives technology alliance and partner managers a complete, repeatable system for executing a co-sell motion between an ISV, a Cloud Provider, and a System Integrator.

In a single session, FORGE defines your joint Ideal Customer Profile, quantifies the geographic market opportunity, identifies and scores your top 20 target accounts, maps each partner’s presence, analyses the competitive landscape, and produces every sales and marketing asset your team needs to take the partnership to market — all in under 20 minutes.

What your alliance team used to spend 4–6 months building through workshops, steering committees, and spreadsheets, FORGE delivers before your next partner meeting.

🎯
For Alliance & Partner Managers
Replaces weeks of ICP workshops, account research, and document creation with a single 20-minute AI-powered run. Walk into your partner QBR with a complete go-to-market package.
🤝
For Three-Partner Alliances
Built specifically for ISV + Cloud + SI partnerships. Every output — the ICP, the account scores, the co-sell matrix, the competitive playbook, the pursuit plans — is framed around the three-partner joint solution.
📊
Grounded in Real Market Data
HG Insights technographic data covers 20M+ companies with real IT spend, technology install, and buyer intent signals. TAM and SAM figures are calculated for your specific geography and market size — not global all-sizes estimates.
🚀
From Agreement to Pursuit Plans
The Execute phase uploads each partner’s account list and identifies where all three partners have existing relationships — surfacing the highest-probability joint wins with a ready-to-run 90-day pursuit plan per account.

ROI Perspective

A single enterprise co-sell win in cloud security, data management, or AI/ML typically generates $300K–$1.5M in combined partner revenue. At Scale plan pricing, a single activation pays for 3+ years of the subscription. The question is not whether FORGE pays for itself — it’s how quickly.

What’s Included in Every Plan

Every plan includes a working consultation with Ron Long, your first live FORGE run configured for your specific partners and market, and a co-sell opportunity matrix you can take into your next partner QBR. No setup fees. Cancel monthly.
