“… evaluated 67,391 burrito-selling establishments…”

How does this even work?

If a local or federal government attempted to do this type of survey, they would end up having to pay McKinsey seven figures just to plan the whole operation..

Hmm. If one spends just 60 seconds on each, it would be a 6 month full time gig. Barely enough time to look at info/photos on Google maps and make a few quick judgement calls. Of course one could maybe reduce this of them by setting a threshold on their rating, maybe also number of reviews added last 12 months, etc. But yeah - lots of labor to actually evaluate thousands of anything. Months possibly.
