What is the average difficulty level of your arrangements?
I come from the philosophy that fast notes, crazy harsh chords, and insane high or low notes don't always mean a group is "professional" or "the best". I believe the level of maturity, balance, blend, and tone make a group amazing. So I arrange a cappella vocal music with the idea that a high school group, college group, or professional group could perform the arrangement. My music doesn't rely on crazy note ranges and insanely hard riffs to showcase a group. My music relies on the maturity and discipline of the group's sound. So technically my arrangements aren't extremely difficult. But the discipline you approach them with can make your group sound incredible and professional.

What about beatbox percussion?
It is very common for a cappella groups to have a beatbox percussionist. However, not every group does. And when composers arrange music for a cappella groups, they do not write out the beatbox part anyways. It is up to the beatboxer to make up the part. All of my arrangements are arranged so a beatboxer could easily add a part in if desired, but the arrangement also stands on its own without beatboxing.
