Geography
Last Yard
The final feet of the delivery: building entry, floor, doorstep, locker, age check. Where a successful drop becomes a failed one if the operation hasn't planned for it.
Where this fits
Logistics gets named by the geography of the move. First Meter covers the pickup leg, Middle Mile covers transfers between operating points, Last Mile covers the route to the recipient, Last Yard covers the final handoff. Each band has its own constraints, cost shape, and capacity profile.
