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.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
