Primes¶
- Last Mile Delivery
- The pattern supports inference about where to invest: once the last-mile share dominates, marginal investment in trunk efficiency has diminishing payoff because the binding constraint has moved — a near-universal trajectory in distribution systems, and the reason mature players invest more in last-mile experiments than in trunk upgrades.
This sourceArgues that the last mile is the most expensive and least efficient leg of the supply chain, where mature players concentrate innovation.
