Introducing Clayton in a project already in development it’s a common use case in which there are very specific concerns to address.
These projects have already some code reviews best practices in place (peer code review, pair programming, PR validation, etc…), why adding a new tool?
The dev team is scared to introduce a new tool into the picture and people are afraid to get distracted instead of receiving value.
Third-party tools usually have complicated onboarding process and they add infrastructure and maintenance overhead to the team.

"Start small by defining only the rules that are Critical for your project and add new rules with the time".
