I’m leaning towards Transactional as the answer, but I could see Arm's-length being a contender too. Need to double-check my notes!

I’m a bit confused between Strategic alliance and Outsourced. I feel like both involve some level of collaboration.

I think the least collaborative style might be Arm's-length, but I'm not entirely sure. It feels more distant.
