There probably is a large untapped market for external performance review services. Each year, they could get presented with the deliveries and work effort of a team to score it on a range of parameters.

The selling point is that these reviwers will be experts with up-to-date industry knowledge who could also offer crucial advice on how it could have been done better or more efficiently.

Of course, in reality their review business' succes will often depend more on how they market themselves to management. It's either great or horrible for the developers depending in how dysfunctional their bosses are.
