Well, I'd say that even if a team works for one month and does well, they're
successful. I say this because after one gets home, things could happen.
Dogs get sick, humans get sick, dogs die, humans die, circumstances change,
etc., etc., etc.
I just don't think we can put too much of a figure on it. I figure, though,
one can begin to tell how successful a team is after they get home and work
a bit. One can also tell during class if a team might be successful or not.

Darla asked how long a team has to be out to be "successful". I'd say at
least 2 years, just to put a number on it. Or possibly 3; I could argue
either way.
I'd be real curious to see numbers from schools of teams graduated, and
partnerships that lasted 3 years or more. I think that should be a pretty
good indicator as to how well the school is doing. I mean, if school X put
out 500 teams, and 300 of them stayed together, that's only a 60% success
rate, and not so good. But if 400 of them worked 3 years or more, that's
80% success, which is pretty good.
