For maximum results, trade-off with a buddy:
Spend Q1 each crashing your respective project; spend Q2 as a fixer undoing that damage using his knowledge of his own work.
You’re both cutting edge and a proven fixer!

Reminds me of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Tuco is a wanted man, Blondie brings him in and gets the reward money. Then just as Tuco is about to hang, Blondie shoots the rope and they both escape to another state ... where Tuco is also a wanted man.

Government contracting is the pathological case for that: if they haven’t been allowed to hire civil servants, they have no choice but to use a handful of big companies. The shortage of in-house expertise makes it hard to know if the work is being planned or performed correctly so a common strategy is to hire one company to oversee the work of another company. Unfortunately, since there are only a few companies in the space and job hopping is the best path for a raise or to avoid layoffs when contracts turn over, it’s rare for anyone to be very critical of past or future coworkers.
I have seen that this is one of the most efficient ways to advance your career especially in larger consultancy companies with hundreds or thousands of different customers.
