  The New Logistics Advantage — Part 3 of 9
  The old distinction between information technology and physical logistics is becoming harder to maintain. Software once sat above the operation: it planned, recorded, scheduled, and reported what happened in warehouses and transportation networks. Increasingly, computation is moving into the assets and processes themselves.

  Harness Engineering in Logistics — Part 3 of 6
  Once harness engineering is understood as an operating discipline rather than a prompt technique, the next question becomes practical: what is actually inside the harness? There is no single product called a logistics AI harness, and there probably should not be. The harness is the control architecture assembled around the model.
  Its purpose is to separate flexible reasoning from operational control. The model interprets ambiguity, synthesizes
