Question 1

What is TeamStation AI and how is it different from a vendor like BairesDev?

Accepted Answer

TeamStation AI is a technology platform that builds and manages elite nearshore software development teams using scientific vetting and an AI co-pilot. Unlike traditional vendors like BairesDev, which operate as manual 'body shops' competing on volume, we use a data-driven system. Our Axiom Cortex™ engine evaluates engineers for deep cognitive skills, not just résumé keywords, ensuring a higher quality and more reliable team. We platform the entire nearshore industry, turning it from a labor brokerage into a computational orchestration of talent.

Question 2

What is the Nearshore IT Co-Pilot™?

Accepted Answer

The Nearshore IT Co-Pilot™ is our proprietary software platform that serves as the workflow OS for your entire LATAM engineering operation. It handles everything from AI-powered sourcing and cognitive vetting to compliance, secure device management, and automated onboarding. This provides you with a single, accountable SLA and replaces the vendor chaos of managing multiple contracts for talent, EOR, and security.

Question 3

How does Axiom Cortex™ vetting work?

Accepted Answer

Axiom Cortex™ is our simulation-based cognitive vetting engine. Instead of asking trivia questions, we immerse candidates in realistic engineering scenarios to measure the skills that actually predict on-the-job performance: systems thinking, architectural discipline, failure modeling, and communication under pressure. This scientific approach allows us to de-risk hiring and consistently identify the top 1% of LATAM talent. You can explore our vetting playbooks in the Axiom Cortex section.

Question 4

Why is a 'platformed' model better than traditional nearshore staff augmentation?

Accepted Answer

Traditional staff augmentation is brittle, opaque, and relies on inconsistent human processes. A platformed model, as detailed in our research on Platforming the Nearshore Industry, treats team-building as a systems engineering problem. It replaces manual guesswork with a data-driven graph of talent (Nebula Search AI™), a cognitive evaluation engine (Axiom Cortex™), and a workflow OS (Nearshore IT Co-Pilot™). The result is higher reliability, predictable performance, and a transparent, auditable process that legacy vendors cannot match.

Question 5

Which countries in Latin America do you operate in?

Accepted Answer

Our platform and talent graph cover all major LATAM hubs, including Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Costa Rica. Because we operate as a single, integrated platform, we can assemble 'dream teams' of cognitively-aligned engineers from multiple countries to perfectly match your technical and business requirements, rather than being limited by the available talent in a single location.

Question 6

How does your pricing model compare to a vendor like BairesDev?

Accepted Answer

We operate on a transparent, all-inclusive pricing model. You pay a flat monthly fee per engineer that covers their compensation and all platform services, including EOR, compliance, device security, and our operational SLA. This eliminates the hidden costs and vendor sprawl associated with legacy models, providing a predictable Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) that is auditable by your CFO. Unlike vendors who compete on opaque rate cards, our value is in delivering higher-productivity, lower-risk teams that result in a superior long-term ROI.

Question 7

How do you ensure security and protect our intellectual property?

Accepted Answer

Security is engineered into our platform, not bolted on. All engineers operate under contracts with robust NDA and IP assignment clauses, enforceable in both the US and their local jurisdiction. Our Nearshore IT Co-Pilot™ enforces endpoint security on all company-provided laptops via MDM with CIS-aligned guardrails. This integrated approach provides a higher level of security and control than managing a fragmented set of international contractors.
