Same material relation
Business
SLI ↔ ILIWorking together may feel straightforward: each recognizes something familiar in the other's approach. Deeper closeness isn't automatic.
Also called Look-a-Like · Cooperation
SLI and ILI stand in the same position, so the relation reads the same from either side.

How Business works
When it helps
A practical goal gives them a reason to compare ideas and put their strengths to use.
What to notice
Comparing approaches can turn into competing or correcting each other. The connection may also stay fairly surface-level.
Same material relations. These two may recognize something familiar in how the other thinks or works. What they share depends on the particular pairing.
What passes between them
Every type has eight functions, from what comes most naturally to what costs the most effort. These are the places where SLI’s and ILI’s meet most directly.

How this pairing resolves to Business
Both types’ eight functions, side by side
Rows follow Model A’s eight function positions, from Leading (1) to Demonstrative (8); they are not a ranking of strength or value. The highlighted rows are the contacts that hold across all sixteen ordered pairs the archive assigns to Business.
Where this comes from
The relation name and roles come straight from the archived relation table, and the meeting points follow from Model A. The summaries are the Atlas’s plain-language reading of the archived Business guide: a place to start, not a prediction about two real people.
