That’s exactly the type of work you have to do to get government contracts. Think about a 200 page PDF which requires you to restate several dozen times what measures you have in place to make sure that the government customer won’t get hacked. For each question you have to go find some product requirements somewhere and find the place where it says “procedure for security audit.” Many of those people “looking on” are partly there to check boxes for enterprise or government contract purposes.
I’m not claiming this is the most efficient way to get any kind of code written. But if you want to have one hacker sit down and ship the whole product in a couple weeks without any of these business dorks disturbing them, well, that’s exactly what brand-new startups are for.
