When engineering partnerships struggle with technical versus business boundaries

My business partner handles client relationships while I focus on technical work, but clients keep asking for things that are technically possible but professionally questionable and we never figured out how to communicate about where those lines are. He commits us to things assuming I'll figure out how to make them work and I'm tired of being the one who has to say no after he's already said yes.

What we've seen
