Yeah, I love it when customers can work like that. The way I often explain it is that a product manager can buy software, but they can also buy information. Information like, "Is X possible?" or "What would it cost to build Y?" or "What would the performance be if we switched to Z?".

Once they catch on to that, it can be great.

One of companies mentioned, Gerson Lehrman Group (GLG), literally sells the time of vetted experts.

That's a really good way of putting it.
