We build our own.
That is the difference.

Wrong scope, wrong shop, wrong estimate — you hear it in week one, not in the retrospective.

You meet the engineers, by name, with their work, before anything is signed. Nobody here is a resource number.

Not merged, not demoed. In the store, in production, in front of the people it was built for.

Decisions, trade-offs, Friday notes. Verbal architecture evaporates the moment someone leaves.
