I've seen a lot of IT product development processes and that's what I realized

I recently saw a participant's post on Product Hunt about whether there are alternatives to outsourcing in IT development (this post: https://www.producthunt.com/discussions/is-there-an-alternative-to-it-outsourcing-in-healthcare?comment=1864418). This moment made me think about clear distinctions between different development formats, so I decided to create this article. And the problem, as you can see, is really relevant. Let's imagine that we failed the MVP, reached the pre-seed/seed round and found ourselves in the gap. This gap is called scaling: - investors and advisors worried that company will not reach launch deadlines; - CEO has obligations to investors and users to release a good product on time; - the team is losing motivation; - large corporations notice us and quickly/brazenly copy our ideas. In this case, there is only one problem: find a team quickly to introduce the product to market quickly, but at the same time so that it can scale). And how to do it? When we decide on the format in which we will develop a product (in-house or with a separate team), we rely on the pros and cons of various types of interactions. Moreover, working with a separate company can mean both outsourcing/outstaffing and a full-fledged partnership. Such differences between companies are rarely carried out, so we will show their main differences. We tried to briefly compare the pros and cons of different interactions, as well as show ways to evaluate and select a partner company for product development. And I attach a link to the Table and a detailed description of the different formats: https://medium.com/@ilya_27912/table-of-it-development-comparison-of-outsourcing-outstaffing-in-house-and-product-studio-format-964b5c86a8ca
