requirements for software quality for internally developed / shared software?

In environments where software is built internally by one team and then that software is used by other internal teams, how does one decide what the required quality should be for the produced artefacts? For example:

what is the name of the model for the describing strategy between R&D and Professional Services

Is there a model that describes the different strategies that a company may use where the organisation is split into an engineering division and a professional services division?

Are there any empirical studies about the effects of commenting source code on software quality, maintainability and developer productivity? [closed]
