Quality of Deliverables
Athlete eligibility has gotten much better since we started working together, which proves the concept. Loop Studio adapts to specs that keep changing and communicates about them well, which helps keep their code fairly bug-free. Their responsiveness and problem-solving make them a valuable partner.
