There is something I've started to notice as I've been working as a platform-layer consultant for the past few years. Many of the companies I've worked with don't have anyone in their company with any meaningful level of experience or expertise in environment administration, security, really anything ops-related. I see this especially when I start trying to hand off work I've done into maintenance phase operations and they don't have any kind of operations team to take over, but my contract sure as shit doesn't say I'm going to come in at 3 AM on a Sunday morning and I never will. So they may try to identify someone in the company to train up or they may try to hire, but the core problem they face isn't that it's impossible in principle to tell good apart from bad. The problem is it's impossible for them to tell the difference because they have no one in their company even qualified to conduct such an interview.
