Partner Programme · For BI Developers
You build the reports.
We build the requirements.
A discovery-only engagement for freelance Power BI developers and small BI consultancies. Your client gets methodology-grade requirements. You get a signed architecture document and a stakeholder map. The build phase becomes the engineering problem it was always supposed to be.
The Reality of the Build
You know exactly how the project fails. It fails before you start coding.
You are skilled with DAX. Your Power Query is clean. Your model is starred. The problem is never the technology. The problem is what you were asked to build.
The brief that came from one person
You met the project sponsor. Six weeks in, three other stakeholders surface with contradictory requirements. You did not interview them. The sponsor said he had it covered. He did not.
The number that does not match
Revenue in your report is not revenue in Finance's spreadsheet. Both are correct. The definitions diverged years ago. Now you are the visible problem.
The change request that resets the model
"We forgot to mention" arrives in week eight. The new dimension breaks the star schema. The new measure requires a different grain. You eat the rework.
The competing dashboard in Excel
Three months after delivery the FP&A analyst is still maintaining her spreadsheet. Adoption is at 20%. Your invoice was paid. Your reputation took the hit.
The next project that hesitates
The client liked you. The client is not signing the next phase. Nobody can quite say why. The problem is not Power BI. The problem is that nobody owns what success means.
The freelance squeeze
Fabric and Copilot are squeezing the technical premium. Your moat is the engagement, not the syntax. Discovery is the engagement layer.
How the Partnership Works
Five steps. Sequential. Each gates the next.
The partner programme is Wit-only. WizEmp does not build the reports. WizEmp does not provision the workspace. WizEmp does not manage your client relationship after the Shield of Truth is signed. The handover is clean.
You qualify the engagement
Your client is a company with 3+ departments who will use the reports. Multiple stakeholders. Conflicting requirements. A budget owner who can authorise the discovery investment.
You introduce WizEmp
You explain to your client that proper discovery happens before the build. We provide a partner co-pitch deck and a short reference brief on the Wit process for you to share.
WizEmp runs Wit
Async multilingual interviews across all stakeholders. The Data Dictionary, Metrics Dictionary, and prioritised requirements emerge. Definitional conflicts are surfaced and resolved. Anonymity removes hierarchy bias.
The Shield of Truth is signed
Your client signs off the discovery output. Scope, priorities, definitions, success criteria. WizEmp delivers the package to you. The handover meeting is short because the document is complete.
You build with clarity
Your build contract is between you and the client. WizEmp is not in the room for the build. You have a signed architecture brief, a stakeholder map, and agreed definitions. Scope creep has lost its main weapon.
What You Receive
A package you can build from on day one.
The Shield of Truth is not a meeting summary. It is a structured deliverable designed to be handed to a developer. Stakeholder map, signed definitions, prioritised requirements, governance posture, and a target architecture sketch.
The deliverable is tool-agnostic. Wit produces requirements; the build tool is your decision. Power BI is the default expectation in our partnership, but Tableau, Qlik, or Looker builds work from the same Shield.
Inside the Shield of Truth
Honest Framing
The partner programme fits some engagements. Not all.
We will tell you within one conversation whether your client is a fit. A small business owner who already knows what he wants is below the Wit threshold: charge for the build directly. The partner programme exists for engagements where requirements are the bottleneck, not the syntax.
Where the partner programme fits
- Your client is a company with 3+ departments using the reports
- Multiple stakeholders with different priorities
- Existing reporting that nobody fully trusts
- Definitional conflicts across departments (revenue, margin, cost)
- Cross-border or multi-entity context
- A budget owner who can authorise discovery as a separate investment
- A stakeholder group with 5 days of async availability per Wit round
Where it does not
- A solo business owner who already has the answer in mind
- A single-stakeholder engagement (one user, one report)
- A pure technical fix on an existing model
- A migration project where requirements already exist and are signed
- A client who refuses to invest in discovery as a separate phase
- An engagement where the bottleneck is genuinely the build, not the brief
The Economics
Two contracts. Two invoices. One outcome.
WizEmp Contract
Discovery is our scope
Your client signs the Wit discovery investment directly with WizEmp. We run the interviews, the synthesis, the Shield of Truth, the sign-off meeting. The deliverable is the package above.
Wit is tool-agnostic. The Shield of Truth lives outside the build environment. Your client owns it, regardless of who builds the reports.
Your Contract
The build is your scope
Your build contract is between you and your client. Your day rate, your timeline, your invoice. WizEmp does not take a referral fee on the build. The Shield of Truth becomes your scope-of-work attachment.
If the client returns for the next phase, the discovery process can repeat for that scope. You stay the build partner.
