The DSNY budget is $1.9B. How much should you invest to make the right decision, when you are radically changing the operations of the organization and the daily fabric of city life for millions of people?
what should it have cost? this is a very complicated problem for densest and most populated city in the US... and it seems like a thorough and thoughtful analysis
I agree, practically this would've been much more in terms of combined efforts (to collect, parse, and validate) this analysis. Absolutely bargain if McKinsey was able to create from scratch ;)
