Sounds about right. I used to consult. The briefing was that we were a bulletproof vest. We hired a ton of people. I didn't know what they did, but the boss told us that their jobs was mainly seat filling. I remember Saudi cutting funding for consultants though: https://dgagroup.com/insight/asg-analysis-saudi-arabia-issues-new-royal-order-barring-government-use-foreign-consultants/ https://dgagroup.com/insight/asg-analysis-saudi-arabia-issue... The king was supposedly pissed that the nation's leaders were not even taking responsibility for the economic plan. They'd say things like, "Here's a plan written by McKinsey." Which is a little odd because you'd think that they'd steal ideas and all that. It's easier to claim ownership. It's more cost-effective to fire the people who hire expensive consultants.
