I think you have this wrong. Some (often larger) business will simply not respect "low value" advice.
I remember a story in the IT press some 14 years ago about a radiology consultant who wanted the hospital to move to some (then) new fangled computerised radiology system that would save the hospital around 1/2 million a year.
He prepared a report and it was rejected annualy for around five years. He quit and joined a consultancy.
The consultancy was called in and the hospital paid mega bucks to get hold of the same report and advice they have bene getting for the best part of a decade for free.
Now that they were paying 1K or more per day for it they finally acted on it.
Personally I think 1K$ per day is mid range. I know people who charge 1650UKP/day and do well.
