What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They spent time shadowing our floor nurses to ensure the AI dashboard was intuitive and reduced their cognitive load rather than adding to it.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Dextra Labs could have done differently?

As we operate in a Maintenance Service-based industry where systems must be 100% reliable at all times, we realized during the handover that we needed a more permanent technical partnership. While the consulting was top-tier, I would have liked to see Dextra Labs offer a Long term Managed AI Maintenance Service earlier in the proposal.
