What customers criticise (separate from risk signals)

The pyramid is the point and the problem: a buyer wanting one senior engineer sitting with their operations team is instead buying a staffed engagement with junior hours built into the price. Nothing is published on cost. The Hacker News objection that the forward deployed engineer is a consultant with better margins is aimed squarely at this shape of firm, and BCG X does not claim otherwise.
