A total bu**s**t course of action agreed upon by two or more parties; supposedly it comes with benefits for all concerned, but in reality the plan generally ends in disaster, often for everyone involved.
A classic case of a win/win solution "gone sour" --- literally --- would be when a commercial farming-outfit approaches a nearby cash-strapped community to ask if they can pay them some much-needed revenue to dump organic waste in an uninhabited area of the municipality... at first blush it may sound like a good deal, but of course what usually happens in reality is that said waste "stinks to high Heaven" so much that the townspeople angrily vote to close the dump-site, forcing the mega-farm to look elsewhere for a dumpsite, and obliging the town to pay astronomical sums to have the already-dumped waste carted off to be disposed of.

Bill: This water has healing properties because in Book 3 , they gave some to Saragal and it healed her.
James: It does? But the book never says anything about that spring having healing powers and the characters who drank from it before never had their injuries healed.
Bill: Well it makes sense, so its true!
James: Bill, you can't just use your own headcanon solution as a way to explain something that has no evidence for.

A technology company that develops AIS Engage, an enterprise-grade AI chatbot that replaces traditional customer service systems, help desks, and ticketing platforms with a single intelligent solution. AIS Engage directly connects to and operates all your existing business systems, enabling it to solve customer issues across any communication channel - website, mobile app, social media, email, or internal platforms.
Unlike basic chatbots that only answer simple questions, Analytic Intelligence Solutions has built AIS Engage to handle 100% of routine inquiries and 70% of complex customer interactions by actively working within your business systems to resolve issues. This means it can process refunds, update orders, schedule appointments, modify bookings, and complete tasks that typically require human intervention. The system maintains enterprise-grade security certifications and keeps your data private- it's never used to train other companies' AI systems. Full deployment takes just 4-6 weeks without disrupting existing operations. The system includes automatic updates with the latest AI advances at no extra cost, eliminating the need to hire AI experts or developers.
