Software development partner: a 10-point test.
ReliqioSoftware development partner: a 10-point test.
We judge a technical team less by what it ships and more by what it does when nobody asked.
Does it flag a risky idea before it's built? Does it own a mistake before you find it?
Count the checks your team earns. Three or fewer, and you have a vendor that executes tickets. Eight or more, and you have a product partner that owns outcomes.
In B2C, you feel the difference a year later, in retention and LTV.
Curious where your team lands? Let's compare notes.

What a technical team does when nobody asked says more than what it ships. Ten checks tell a vendor from a product partner that owns outcomes.
Key points:
Ask whether the team flags a risky idea before it is built and owns a mistake before you find it.
Other checks: product mindset, cost awareness at scale, depth in UX, LTV and user retention.
0 to 3 checks is a vendor that executes tickets, 4 to 7 an agency that delivers projects, 8 to 10 a product partner.
In B2C the gap shows a year later, in retention and LTV.
Most useful for B2C teams weighing their current technical team.
