I'm not sure Starliner can't be salvaged. A good analysis of its problems would go a long way towards a weighted, reasoned decision. That is, the technical architecture, the design and implementation decisions should be available to reviewers, and as a result they would know if it's easier to start building a spacecraft from scratch - or better to fix some specific problems with existing system which at least managed to bring people to ISS and return itself back to Earth.
Who will do the review? Maybe it's Boeing, as part of the project analysis in the wake of events. Maybe it's another company which would buy the branch the Boeing would like to sell. Maybe it's even external government agency - NASA - or company - Blue Origin? - who'd have expertise and enough impartiality in the results.
