As a client, I could just hire a consultant. There’s no shortage and they have reputation to uphold / less risky to me potentially.

It’s basically the same. I pay hire rate for labor knowing only a portion reaches the laborers. I can select based on the exact expertise I need which consultants would be most appropriate

Consultancy is what I described
