With your skills that nobody quite understands so they totally trust your judgement. Plus these guys all speak highly of their employers because they are “getting paid well...so well we don’t need to take on outside jobs.” How nice to have someone ask you, “what should we do?” And then the contractor gives the recommendation and names his price. He does the job, collects his money and that’s it. You would never tell him he’s doing it wrong and make him go through rounds of revisions bc he’s not doing it the way you would do it.
