What to compare
| Area | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Discovery | Users, workflows, rules, exceptions, data, and expected outcomes |
| Technical capability | Frontend, backend, APIs, integrations, cloud, security, and QA |
| Delivery | Milestones, responsibilities, communication, testing, and deployment |
| Proof | Relevant systems, clear attribution, and delivery ownership |
| Support | Maintenance, monitoring, fixes, changes, and ownership terms |
Software company, software house, or freelancer
The label matters less than the operating model. A freelancer can fit a narrow task. A structured software company is usually safer for multi-role systems, integrations, long delivery cycles, or projects that require QA, DevOps, design, and support.
