## FAQs

Do providers need to change how they work?

No. When providers work in your repositories and tools, Pensero reads their work like your own teams' work.

Can we compare a provider with our in-house team?

Yes. Both are scored with the same criteria, in delivery points, with cost and quality beside them.

How do we start?

With a 6-week audit: a baseline per team and provider, and your position against similar organizations. We scope it in a 30-minute session.
