  6. Procedure – Simple Purchase • Works for consumer buying, not appropriate for institutional buying • Expensive • Actually more time • Inefficient • Submission to the vendor, enslave ourselves • Lack of revelatory process

  7. Procedure – Best Case Scenario • Control of process, on our terms • The “studying of it out” allows for the Revelatory Process
