Partnership evidence does not belong in a generic issue queue. It has dates, owners, and a lifecycle of its own — so it gets a workspace of its own.

Closes when the live pages no longer say it.
Five months past the end date, three published pages still say “trusted by Northwind Labs”. Nothing changed on those pages, which is exactly the problem.
Lifecycle
Three states, and only one of them is safe.
A collaboration is not a bug to be triaged. It is a relationship with an end date, and the end date is the risk.
Expiring
The end date is close enough that somebody has to decide now whether to renew it or take it down.
ExpiringExpired
The agreement ended. The endorsement is still on your site. This is the state that quietly becomes a legal problem.
ExpiredWhy it is separate
A partnership is not a content finding.
Content findings are resolved by changing words. Collaborations are resolved by a commercial decision — renew, replace, or take it down — and that decision has a different owner, a different timeline, and different evidence.
- Lifecycle dates that move the state without anyone remembering
- The agreement evidence attached to the record
- A named owner per collaboration, not per page
- The published pages that depend on it, listed
In-place overview
What is active right now, and what each active partnership entitles you to say.
Expiry timeline
What lapses this quarter, ordered by the date it stops being true.
The loop
Taking it down is part of the record.
- 01
Record
The agreement, its evidence, its owner, and the dates it depends on.
- 02
Watch
The lifecycle state moves on its own as dates pass. Nobody has to remember.
- 03
Decide
Renew, replace, or remove — with the evidence and the affected pages in front of the person deciding.
- 04
Remove
Where it comes down, the published pages are read again to confirm the claim is actually gone.
Collaborations separates partnership evidence from the generic issue queue.
