Winning Point:
No reporting function or Organization Chart, as most of the Technical Person hired the freelancer are not Certified Competent person by IECEx.
No peer review of the Inspection report before submitting it to the customer. Usually, reporting format is not standardized, and no quality in the reports. No accountability.
Data security, as a freelancer, does not tie to any organization. They might leak the inspection reports to others.
Freelancers usually have no idea about the instruments or equipment used in the metering solutions.
Freelancers usually disappear after a job. Therefore, there is no capability to discuss nor review the findings in the inspection report. (to close an issue out)
