We're striving to include firms that prioritize:</p> 115<ul> 116<li>User-centered delivery</li> 117<li>modern, iterative engineering practices</li> 118<li>accessible and inclusive design practices</li> 119<li>product and service-design thinking</li> 120<li> a strong reputation and the respect of civic tech practitioners</li> 121<li>a sustainable and healthy delivery culture</li> 122<li>and above all, effective and good public service outcomes</li> 123</ul> 124 125<p>In short, we're attempting to help practitioners navigate the government digital services ecosystem and highlight firms with strong delivery practices, thoughtful culture, and a track record of meaningful public-sector work.</p> 126 127<p>This is, of course, a somewhat fluid list, and we have not yet included everyone that probably deserves inclusion.
