Implementation Partners

Implementation partners are the build team. This is the role with the highest commission and the highest bar to qualify.

What you do​

  • Review the approved BRD, SRS, and FSD, and the development plan/task breakdown
  • Build the project using the DeX platform
  • Run QA end-to-end against what the client actually asked for
  • Get client sign-off
  • Deploy through dev → staging → production
  • Support the go-live

What you earn​

20% of total project value, paid after production go-live, on a net-30 schedule.

This stacks with the other two roles. A single partner or team that refers the client, runs the SME/requirements role, and builds the project earns:

8% + 14% + 20% = 42% — the maximum any single partner can earn on a project.

Worked example: Bala reviews the SRS/FSD, builds the entire project on DeX, runs QA, and gets the client's production sign-off. Bala earns 20% of the project value for the implementation role alone — on top of whatever referral or collaborative commission applies if Bala also held those roles.

Splitting the role​

The 20% can be split across a team, weighted by contribution — Colakin allocates this based on documented work.

Qualification: this role has a certification bar​

Unlike referral and collaborative partners, implementation partners must go through a certification process before taking on client work:

  • Demonstrated technical expertise in the relevant stack (e.g. a minimum of 3 years' experience for a given framework)
  • Evidence of reference projects actually delivered in that stack (e.g. a completed Flutter project, a completed CRM project, a completed React project)
  • Onboarding onto DeX delivery tooling, including registration on the DeX Time Sheet with biometric and geolocation check-in

Implementation partners can be individuals or companies (including freelancers and established IT services firms).

Build access is implementation-only​

All partners get DeX access to validate ideas, generate workflows, and produce documentation — but the build step (generating and shipping production code on the platform) is only unlocked once you're certified as an implementation partner. This is why implementation carries the highest commission and the certification bar: it's the only role with hands on the actual build.
