The other alternatives
2Most of these decisions are not made against another product. They are made against building it yourself, or against the team already doing the work.
- Sei vs Building in-houseA working demo is a weekend. The thing that survives a Selling Guide update, a model deprecation and an SR 11-7 review is the actual project. The post is about the tradeoffs.
- Sei vs Offshore and BPO review teamsThe honest comparison is not quality against quality. It is what happens to cost per loan when volume doubles, and whether two reviewers reach the same answer on the same file.
