Alliance Architecture isn't manipulation—it's mutual elevation. The test:
✗ Using people for personal gain ✓ Creating value for mutual benefit
✗ Transactional scorekeeping ✓ Abundant value creation
✗ Hidden agendas ✓ Transparent collaboration
✗ Taking credit for connections ✓ Celebrating collective wins
The best alliances are those where everyone knows exactly what's happening and enthusiastically participates because everyone wins.
