It’s Unconventional

Dispatches

From inside the work.
Shorter than the Library.

All dispatches

One dispatch so far.

Reverse-chronological. No pillars, no categories — just dated observations from the work as it surfaces them.

The fifth question — what the Vistex implementation partner won't answer

We named four questions in this week's Library piece. Here's the fifth — the one that earns a deflection. The deflection is the signal.

Vistex · implementation · vendor evaluation · due diligence · rebate management

How this differs from the Library

Two surfaces. Different jobs.

Library — substantive analytical pieces. Frameworks applied. Positions taken on contested questions. Pillars and journey stages. Slow cadence; high editorial standard.
Dispatches — field-level observations. Shorter. Less formal. Dated and chronological. What we're seeing this week, this quarter, this engagement.

Both are buyer-aligned. Both name what's being claimed. Library is the bound volume; Dispatches is the running column.
