These six-figure reports are produced by underpaid kids in their twenties working 18 hours a day.

The purpose of paying for these reports is for executives to have someone else to blame when their idea doesn't work. It has nothing to do with the correctness of the content.

That's accurate, for the first draft. Similar to big legal firms - subsequent versions are signed-off and passed up (and if revisions request, down) the hierarchy, each stratum with its own billing rate(s).

Which makes me wonder when the hallucinations got added.

This is absolutely correct in my experience. It's solely finger pointing insurance.
