Fauxlaboration

TLDR: A fauxlaboration is a fake or false collaboration

A design collaboration refers to the process where multiple individuals, teams  or companies work together to create, refine, or improve a project by combining their skills, perspectives, and creativity to achieve the best possible outcome, often involving various skill-sets or professions. In essence, it's a collaborative approach to design where everyone involved contributes to the final product.

A "fauxlaboration" refers to the process where one party (typically me), has a great idea, but cant be bothered to approach a partner company (typically both an industry leader and a household name) with said great idea. Instead choosing the path of least resistance, and instant gratification.
