## Execution Flow

### Step 1: Fetch Partner Profile

```
partner.get({
  partnerId: context.partnerId,
  includeContacts: true,
  includeCertifications: true,
  includeActivity: true
})
```

### Step 2: Get Enablement Status

```
partner.get_enablement_status({
  partnerId: context.partnerId,
  includeProgress: true,
  includeHistory: true
})
```

Review:
- Completed courses
- Active training
- Expired certifications
- Pending assessments

### Step 3: Calculate Readiness Score

```javascript
function calculateReadinessScore(partner) {
  const weights = {
    foundationComplete: 20,
    salesTraining: 25,
    technicalTraining: 25,
    activeCertifications: 20,
    recentActivity: 10
  };
  
  let score = 0;
  
  // Foundation training
  if (partner.enablement.foundation.complete) {
    score += weights.foundationComplete;
  }
  
  // Sales training
  const salesProgress = partner.enablement.sales.completedModules / 
                        partner.enablement.sales.totalModules;
  score += salesProgress * weights.salesTraining;
  
  // Technical training
  const techProgress = partner.enablement.technical.completedModules / 
                       partner.enablement.technical.totalModules;
  score += techProgress * weights.technicalTraining;
  
  // Active certifications
  const validCerts = partner.certifications.filter(c => !c.expired);
  const certScore = Math.min(validCerts.length / 3, 1) * weights.activeCertifications;
  score += certScore;
  
  // Recent activity (within 90 days)
  if (partner.lastEnablementActivity < 90) {
    score += weights.recentActivity;
  }
  
  return Math.round(score);
}
```

### Step 4: Identify Enablement Gaps

```javascript
function identifyGaps(partner, targetTier) {
  const gaps = [];
  const requirements = tierRequirements[targetTier];
  
  // Check training completions
  requirements.trainings.forEach(training => {
    if (!partner.completedTrainings.includes(training)) {
      gaps.push({
        type: 'training',
        item: training,
        priority: requirements.priorities[training]
      });
    }
  });
  
  // Check certifications
  const validCerts = partner.certifications.filter(c => !c.expired);
  if (validCerts.length < requirements.minCertifications) {
    gaps.push({
      type: 'certification',
      needed: requirements.minCertifications - validCerts.length,
      recommended: getRecommendedCerts(partner)
    });
  }
  
  // Check expiring certifications
  partner.certifications
    .filter(c => c.expiresInDays < 30)
    .forEach(c => {
      gaps.push({
        type: 'renewal',
        item: c.name,
        expiresIn: c.expiresInDays,
        priority: 'high'
      });
    });
  
  return gaps;
}
```

### Step 5: Assign Training

```
partner.assign_training({
  partnerId: context.partnerId,
  trackId: context.trackId || recommendedTrack,
  contacts: relevantContacts,
  deadline: calculateDeadline(trackId),
  notifyContacts: true
})
```

### Step 6: Update Certifications

For completed assessments:

```
partner.update_certification({
  partnerId: context.partnerId,
  certificationId: certId,
  status: "active",
  validUntil: calculateExpiry(certId),
  certifiedContacts: passedContacts
})
```

### Step 7: Track Progress

```
analytics.track_event({
  partnerId: context.partnerId,
  eventName: "enablement_milestone",
  properties: {
    milestone: milestone,
    readinessScore: newScore,
    completedTraining: training,
    newTier: newTierIfApplicable
  }
})
```

### Step 8: Notify Partner

```
messaging.send_email({
  to: partnerContact.email,
  template: "enablement_progress",
  variables: {
    partnerName: partner.name,
    readinessScore: score,
    completedItems: recentCompletions,
    nextSteps: recommendedTraining,
    tierProgress: tierProgressSummary
  }
})
```

## Certification Tracks

|-------|-------------|----------|---------|
| Sales Fundamentals | 1 exam | 1 year | Retake exam |
| Technical Associate | 2 exams + lab | 2 years | 1 exam |

| Master Partner | All above + review | 3 years | Annual review |

## Guardrails

- Don't auto-assign training without partner consent
- Respect partner timezone for deadline calculations
- Grace period of 30 days for expired certifications
- Maximum 3 active training tracks per contact
- Notify before certification expiry (60, 30, 14, 7 days)
- Track all enablement activities in audit trail
- Escalate partners with declining readiness scores

## Metrics to Optimize

- Partner readiness score (target: > 85% average)
- Certification completion rate (target: > 80%)
- Training engagement (target: > 70% module completion)
- Time to first certification (target: < 45 days)
- Certification renewal rate (target: > 90%)
