Source description

A data-driven examination of how the cancellation drive affected Deloitte more than any other consulting firm. The piece traces the layoffs that followed.

Credibility assessment

Data-driven reporting based on public contract records. Independence is High under Rule 5. The causal link between government cuts and consulting-industry pressure is well-supported, though the piece does not explore whether the cuts reflected policy preference or genuine waste reduction, a question Rule 4 would classify as requiring additional evidence.
