## Areas to investigate

### Attribution and product outcomes

**Question:** For visible products, which features or releases can be tied to MetaLab’s team and period of work?

**Evidence to seek:** Client statements or product credits establishing contribution and launch.

### SaaS specialization

**Question:** Which cases concern ongoing business software rather than consumer applications?

**Evidence to seek:** Specific SaaS projects with roles, workflows, and agency scope.
