About Half of It

This is not a manual.
It's a lens.

Written by a procurement professional, Half of It explores procurement as a commercial system, a human system and a service. You'll find reflections on cost structures, pricing logic and contracts; how AI is changing not just how procurement works, but how the work should be designed in the first place. You'll find practical approaches you can use in real work, and questions that challenge familiar readings of the way things are done.

There is also a growing focus on AI in procurement. It's not treated as a collection of shiny tools. It's a way to rethink productivity, workflows, decision-making and where human judgement should end and automation begin. That includes practical prompts, workflow ideas, design choices and experiments with how procurement work could be structured differently.

Some pieces are practical. Some are provocative. Some are simply an attempt to look at a familiar problem from another angle.
