Someone has to own the outcome
A match fills a seat; it doesn't run the delivery. Teams move to Luby when they want a squad that owns process, QA, and results.
Security reviews need certified answers
Data-sensitive products need certifications procurement can verify. Luby is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701.
Honest take
