I understand where you guys are coming from, but considering the ATC has a $6 million annual budget, and works in close concert with much a larger organizations including the AMC and NPS and many smaller clubs who have people working to improve the Trail every day, it does strike me as odd that such a study is needed.

I would have thought the land managers sort of knew what they were doing and needed money for implementation, rather than for expert advise on how to do the work better.

The ones I have met seemed more in need of help, hands and dollars, than direction with new ideas.
