if your original design accepted n fields to calculate the score plus 2 
values for partner identifier and access key, the same level of security is 
provided with a "fragment" that loads the form containing n fields plus the 
2 hidden for partner identification.

Briefly, it's a question of partner reliability: the partner can "publish" 
only the n fields and "privatize" its own identification in its code (i.e. 
be sure that him and only him posts data with its access key), then post 
the values to your api "decorating" them with its access identification.
Of course the partner can be a lame coder and put its own access key in the 
public, but then it is its own responsibility

in the latter case, you're the one providing identification..... this means 
you have to figure out how to restrict the access to your form and provide 
the identification for the "publisher", in a way that for publisher2 it's 
impossible to "forge" a request coming from publisher1 

I can't really figure out a solution where the access identification stays 
"secured" without asking the partner to post-process the submitted values.
