Thank You from new tech writer

In terms of the constraints of time, cost, and quality, what gets
sacrificed (if anything)?

It's actually very "cost effective," especially if you have enough
volume to need a team and you're working with standardized
templates and writers who are "non-technical" in experience.
What makes having writers onsite in the US more desirable is
the face-to-face interactions possible with US-based developers,
customers, etc.  This asumes, of course, that one is hiring
US-based writers who actually have the "people skills" to do
these things effectively.
