“It assigns product, architecture, UI, frontend, backend, QA, security and DevOps seats, which is not a CLI flag, it is a reorganisation.”

Which one would each critic pick
| Critic | ccteam | UmaDev | Pick |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Juez | — | — | not enough reviews |
| El Amigo | 6.8 | 6.8 | no preference |
| El Crítico | 5.5 | 6.0 | UmaDev — Nine seats all draw on the one base CLI subscription you already pay for, and nothing published says when the coordinator decides the work warrants them. |
| El Profesor | 6.8 | 7.0 | UmaDev — Roles exchange bounded artefacts and structured verdicts, and the tool reports incomplete work as incomplete rather than presenting every run as a success. |
| La Inversora | 5.8 | 5.8 | no preference |
| La Jefa | 6.3 | 5.8 | ccteam — It keeps a running cost ledger, which is the first time this category has offered me a number before the invoice; Windows only through WSL is the price. |
| El Hacker | 7.3 | 7.0 | ccteam — MIT and a Rust daemon that spawns the CLIs already on my machine, with Formation playbooks prefilling a whole vendor lineup from a file. |
