[throwaway because ...reasons; also, I ran my comment thru ChatGPT to anonymize it]

I'm currently working at Accenture, collaborating with a well-known German car manufacturer (OZJ). We receive a new RFP almost every other month, and due to our long-standing relationship with them, we end up securing the majority of the projects. We manage to deliver on these projects—or at least ensure they are billed.

Occasionally, we engage in some RAG work or even delve into image generation, though the quality of these outputs tends to be quite subpar. Sometimes, it surprises me that the client even accepts it, but ultimately, they receive a functioning product (most of the time), we get compensated, and the end consumers cover the costs.
