What does Partner Tiers mean for go-to-market?

Tier structure is the program's incentive engine. Too flat and there's no reason to invest in the relationship; too steep and the top tier becomes uneconomical. Real-world rule: tier benefits should be visibly worth 2-3x the certification + commitment cost for partners at each level.
