"What stands out the most is the meticulous nature of their work. [Lightwater] didn't just scratch the surface; they went above and beyond, identifying blind spots that we hadn't even considered. This attention to detail is invaluable and will undoubtedly save us a considerable amount of headache and resources in the future."
