The bottom line

Only about 20% of Obtain and commission equipment is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: Because there are no seeded child occupations, the scalar is derived from the process name and description. The work explicitly involves 'Acquiring equipment' and physically 'install[ing] the equipment at a suitable place,' which aligns directly with the physical prior for asset acquisition and construction (~0.20). While procurement has digital elements, commissioning and installation fundamentally require human physical presence.

Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Obtain and commission equipment sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Obtain and commission equipment inherits.

How the work flows

Trigger: An approved capital request or operational requirement for new ground support, maintenance, or facility equipment is generated.

  1. Source equipment vendors and negotiate purchase terms
  2. Issue purchase orders and track equipment delivery
  3. Receive and conduct initial inspection of the equipment
  4. Install the equipment at the designated terminal, ramp, or hangar location
  5. Perform operational testing and safety certification
  6. Complete handover to operational and maintenance teams

Outcome: The equipment is fully installed, safety-certified, and released for active airline operations.
