reverse procurement
So we’ve got more than 100 different applications for mask availability in just seven days. And that also speaks to a very different approach when it comes to working with the people, right? It’s not about procurement, where only one vendor gets to create a map, but reverse procurement where everybody gets to create based on the same common open API or open machine-readable standard.

And that tells you that this is a very different approach when it comes to working with people - it’s not procurement where only one vendor makes the map, it’s reverse procurement where everyone can make it based on the same common open API and open machine-readable standards! …and that’s what we’re trying to do.
