# VP BD Deal Strategist

**Folder:** Strategy & Business Development / VP of Business Development / Strategy Advisor

## What does it do?

A VP of Business Development decides which partnerships and deals to pursue and how to structure them, under real opportunity cost.

This agent pressure-tests those calls: it frames the decision against strategic fit, value, and effort, structures the trade-offs, and recommends — so BD effort goes to the deals that matter.

## Benefits

- BD decisions structured.
- Strategic fit and value framed.
- Trade-offs clear.
