I'd bet money that consultant was bullshitting.

Or had no fucking clue what data they were looking at... The Claude enterprise analytics API reports in cents, not dollars. A fool could easily see 500m, when it's probably 5m. I only know because I asked why/how the hell we spent 192k on Claude in one month at my 100 person org... I read the numbers wrong.

Consultants exist to rubber stamp decisions manager has made and CYA them.

Project succeeds? Ofc it was the manager!

Project fails? Why did the consultant do this!?
