FIELD NOTES

Built from reality.

Written by Asaf Eyzenkot (Suf Zen), from the work itself.

Property resolution

A real offer changes the conversation

Many stuck family homes are not missing a buyer. They are missing an agreement.

Property resolution

A share too small to call about

Many inherited homes sit empty without a feud. Each share is too small to start the conversation.

Property resolution

Portugal's empty homes: why they are stuck

Prices are at a record, yet one home in eight stands empty. The blocker is people and paperwork, not the building.

AI in practice

Models, runtimes and tools will keep changing. Your business knowledge should not change hands with them.
