Plausibel

PLAUSIBLE. The 65% figure is Epyllion's proprietary analysis, not independently replicated. But it is arithmetically consistent with other Ball figures: if outsourcing share rose from ~31.5% to 35.5% while total content investment grew, outsourcing would account for a disproportionate share of incremental spending — plausibly in the 60-70% range. The structural evidence (massive layoffs + outsourcing CAGR 3-8x faster) makes it credible.
