Can you provide some examples so readers can get a sense of whether we think your perception is accurate?

It might be that you have very high expectations or it might be that they really are slow, maybe so slow they should be replaced. But without examples it’s not possible to get a sense of which is the case.

They are mostly developing an internal admin system meant for business operators. This system has the Lawsuit as its main entity. They spent two months to make a buggy screen that would aggregate several lawsuits into a single Deal (a new entity). This is an Angular + .NET project.

They need more training and there is a lot of tech debt that's slowing them down, but how am I supposed to tackle tech debt without speeding up their processes first? Genuine doubt in my mind :)

Sounds like you need a better tech team.
