The analysis characterizes this as a major welfare system failure, with Deloitte's systems generating widespread eligibility denials and administrative backlogs that leave vulnerable people struggling to navigate complex application processes. According to the source's investigation, the arrangement raises questions about outsourcing public welfare administration to private consulting firms.
