Customer (Not Relevant: All work is performed for CMS, customer provides no useful discriminator in process difference.)
Size (Not Relevant: All work is roughly similarly sized, and conducted using the same processes, regardless, size provides no useful discriminator in process difference.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: There are roughly two different organizational structure; however, they better align with the type of work done, so we elected to use type of work as the relevant discriminator of legitimate process difference.)
