Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Coda and Searchlight, not ours.

> The team transitioned nearly immediately to Coda; it only took a week for Searchlight to look to the hub as their source of truth. Coda led to more alignment around KPIs along with a better meeting culture and active collaboration.

> I know with Coda the performance is going to be there, it’s going to scale with us, and people enjoy using it. If they enjoy using it, it reinforces the culture I want us to have.
