I'm not sure how many more ways I can break this down for you. I figured my previous comment was pretty clear.

Asserting that Cloudant is only selling Monsanto a simple data analysis is disingenuous, as clearly proven by Cloudant's own press release where they state how significant their partnership with Monsanto is. Partnership is a key word here.

Selling someone a service like Google Analytics (random example) is a lot different than partnering with a company for multiple weeks and shaping the entire core functionality of a company around your collaborative efforts. Even more so is saying that this partnership will help shape the way the company fundamentally does business.

Like I said, its disingenuous to downplay Cloudant's role, considering how highly they emphasized said role.
