Safety and Reliability
We operate a policy of "safety first". Our policy is to test our software
and systems to a high level, and to the best of our abilities, and to be
full and frank about the limitations of the software algorithms used.
As one means to achieve this, we take pride in developing clear, understandable
code.
This might result in a longer initial development time, but it means
we can sleep at night...
