We have heard about DeDaub and their past work and we’re confident they will be great at this role given the positive vote. Overall, our stance is that we respect the ADPC’s choice in this and the budget ask is also really reasonable in our opinion.

For transparency sake, it would be nice to hear of the other companies the committee considered and maybe why you went with Dedaub in the end?
