Logistical Form Factor
Structural assessment of the handling format. Measures the alignment between the product's packaging/delivery and the available infrastructure.
Scoring Scale (0-5)
-
0Universal (Standard Container/API)
Fully optimized for global infrastructure; automated handling; zero specialized equipment required.
-
1Standard Modular (Palletized/Boxed)
Compatible with all standard 3PL systems; manual handling is minimal.
-
2Specialized Modular (Drums/Reefer)
Requires climate control or specific handling tools; limited to specialized lanes.
-
3Break-Bulk / Irregular
Non-modular; requires heavy lift or custom physical handling; high damage risk during transshipment.
-
4Bulk (Liquid/Dry)
Requires specialized terminals and dedicated vessels/pipelines; zero flexibility once in transit.
-
5Extreme / Intangible Delivery
Continuous streaming, API-only, or 'Live' transport; requires 100% uptime of digital or life-support infrastructure; failure is instantaneous.
