Why is it reasonable to assume the best people to hire for web development, marketing or events management would be EAs rather than a standard web dev org?
Answer from the post:
Web development projects for which EA context and habits are helpful, e.g. for new EA discussion platforms, forecasting/calibration software, or interactive visualizations of core EA ideas.
I think the emphasis is on the relationship with the EA community. You do not need to be an EA-dedicated consultancy team, but you should have some group dedicated to serving EA interests.
I believe this is what all consultancy firms do. They take care of their customer organisations, by becoming familiar with the expectation, aspirations, and goals. (And it is easier if the people carrying out the work share the same aspirations of the organisations they serve, just because they are likely to be more receptive)
Here, the post is only asking new or old consultancy to give some attention to the EA community.
