**Claim.** Concentrated market power in code review undermines internal and external quality controls, leaving the public with no or very weak control over the quality of code review services, and it eliminates downward price pressure because job posters cannot afford to shop for better-priced reviews.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- applies to the centralized code review market

**Source quote.**

> The centralized power also undermines attempts by other industry players to create internal or external controls on the quality of code reviews. As a result, the public has no or very weak control over the quality of code review services it receives.
