Indeed, often it is a tough call, but sometimes even the best talent cannot overcome the inertia of seniority. I have witnessed folks:

* deploy the wrong stack due to existing team skill issues, than the maintenance sinks time and resources away from the project

* hit unclear project goals leading to constant distractions, and entrenched policies dominate design back into garbage

* have informal testing in random situations developers never get to see

* break the testing repeatability loop, so bugs never get properly resolved

If one only has 2 staff left, than they are likely doing 8 jobs 8 times less efficient than one expects.

Best of luck =3
