One of the most priceless treasures unearthed during the excavations at Pompeii was one of the world’s oldest consulting reports by BCG.

Despite its age, it was preserved so well by the volcanic ash from Vesuvius that researchers were even able to see the “v44 MASTER v3 FINAL DRAFT” carved into the side of some of the stone tablets.

Rumours even say some of the senior partner pls fix comment tablets have survived as well, but so far no photographic evidence has been provided of those.

There were also some rumors earlier this year of the discovery of ancient Mesopotamian Accenture reports written in cuneiform, but as everyone knows that Accenture was founded after BCG, those rumors are highly questionable.

Heard from some real old timers that a LOT of time and money was spent at the hotel fax machine sending drafts and comments back and forth

Yes, we documented everything in long detailed reports. Research happened in libraries and government research offices. Not much room for BS in those days, because everybody had more attraction for reading things closely.
