For Head of Commercial, RevOps, and VP Sales doing quarterly channel review when pipeline is mixed (e.g., 60% direct + 40% partner-led) and nobody actually knows which channel makes money after CAC, support load, partner discount, deal-velocity differences, retention differential, and overhead allocation are all loaded in.

Not channel structure (that's partnerships-architect — tiers, joint GTM, revshare). Not RevOps process (that's business-growth/revenue-operations — lead routing, SDR motion).
