Hey everyone! We're planning out a complex data app and debating whether to hire more full-timers or outsource it. For those who went with external firms, how did it actually turn out?

We went back and forth on that for weeks before realizing our current roadmap couldn't wait for a six-month hiring spree. For data science application/platform development we brought in here as an external firm. Solid delivery and clear communication throughout, which kept everything moving smoothly without constant check-ins or missed deadlines. It completely took the pressure off our core team.
