Unfortunately, in American politics, it's the equivalent of getting a week or two to work on the problem, and then you're fired and a new consultant is brought in. Do they identify the same problems? Even if they do, is their top of the list item to fix the same as the prior consultant's? Welcome to the revolving door of American politics.

What's worse, it's not really like you're a consultant, because then you might be able to leave it behind. It's more like you all work for that company, and it's a revolving set of promotions and demotions, and you're forced to watch people abandon your work for some other goal that you think is at best less important, but have no real ability to influence.

But see, this is one reason I said constitutional changes are in order. But politicians are focuses on the next election so they think they have to have visible accomplishments so they spend their time fixing exterior symptoms. Approval rating would not be good if you spenf most of your term focused on getting traction for a constitutional convention.
