In that case, the easy money would be in selling remote-work consulting to businesses that want help implementing it. The results would largely depend on the quality of the people jumping onto that particular bandwagon.

Can you argue that a company that wants to try remote, but doesn't know where to start, can consistently achieve measurable gains by employing such consultants?

That element seems to be what killed the positive momentum behind Agile. If the same people end up doing the same things, remote work will likely become just as dysfunctional as local in-office work, if not more so. Companies will buy just enough rope to hang themselves from people who will even gleefully tie the slip knot for them.
