Eligibility criterion of Copilot funding is not clear e.g. validated Copilot practice and offer
We are trying to raise funding as per eligibility defined in Microsoft Commerce Partners Incentives Guide. But we are not able to understand eligibility criterion:
Q1.Partners with a Modern Work -->Question-Does that mean Modern work Solution Designation?
Q2. or Business Applications specialization --> Question - Does that mean, we can chase any specialization out of 8 options?
Q3. and validated Copilot practice and offer --> Question-not sure what does this mean? How to achieve this?
Kindly try to be descriptive with details. Thanks.

I reached out to the team and this is their response:
Q1. Partners will need to have any of the Modern work or Biz apps specializations achieved. Designations won't suffice.
Q2. We engage with partner to validate their Copilot offer with the following:
-
- Completion of required readiness training thru ESI bootcamps available for Jumpstart community tier partners.
- Internal deployment and adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot - at least 20 seats deployment with a minimum of of 60% MAU for the Copilot Practice folks.
- Partner solution Architects validates the partner's Copilot practice on AI Advisory, optimization and deployment of Copilot, Adoption and change management and extensibility.
Q3. If the partner has the required specializations, they may apply to join the community tier of Jumpstart at aka.ms/copilotaccelerateapply to go through the readiness and practice validation
