Thanks. I've read this task a couple weeks ago when Kelson commented but
then I stopped looking because it was too depressing. I see that there
were some answers on technicalities but nothing on the basics i.e. what
they're trying to achieve.

It sounds like yet another project doomed to fail, because it's doing
everything in the reverse. Personally I only hope it doesn't do lasting
damage (apart from burning dollars). But maybe there's still a small
chance that the team is allowed to do a better a job by learning the
best practices from their colleagues, some of which were condensed in:
