The checklist

         ☐ You have ongoing work, not a one-off project. Dedicated teams shine when there's a steady backlog.

         ☐ Hiring locally is slow or expensive. Roles stay open for months, or salaries strain your budget.

         ☐ Attrition is hurting you. You keep losing people and their product knowledge.

         ☐ Your team already works remotely, at least part of the time.

         ☐ You use written tools such as tickets, docs and chat to coordinate work.

         ☐ Someone on your side can lead the work: setting priorities and reviewing output.

         ☐ You can provide a one-hour daily overlap, or are open to async handoffs.

         ☐ You want full-time commitment, not the gig-to-gig rotation of freelancers.

         ☐ You'd rather not set up a foreign entity, payroll or office yourself.

         ☐ You value stable, fairly treated teams over the cheapest possible price.
