I think it's more about getting a credible outside second opinion. for the same reasons you get a second opinion in medicine. It's less a judgement about a single source, than the requirement to have multiple sources.

Probably by assessing and presenting the cost/benefit analysis to management in a reliable, high quality, easy-to-understand way.
