This is a people service business like cooking. Which makes it hard to scale when it comes to excellent service. Boutique consulting companies may offer excellent service. Like with kitchens there are plenty of them all claiming to serve great food. Stellar are few. The initial looks can be deceiving.

Hint: The proof is in the pudding. But you have to sit through the whole meal to know whether you enjoyed it...

Any concrete examples for such a boutique consulting company?

Can't a product company have these characteristics?
