Every delivery marketplace today is a payroll company with an app on top. DoorDash. Uber. Instacart. They spent a decade proving that humans in cars can’t deliver a $6 burrito for less than $12. RACCT skips the driver layer entirely. Sidewalk bots inside a mile. Drones out to five. Autonomous vans the rest of the way. Category-agnostic routing on distance and payload, not vertical.
Every 3P delivery co is a labor arbitrage bet. It works only when drivers are cheaper than the value they move. That window is closing everywhere at once: min wage laws, gig worker classification, insurance repricing, tip fatigue.
A vertically-owned autonomous stack routes by distance and payload, not by category. The same bot that carries a resale hoodie carries a burrito carries a phone charger. The moat compounds every mile driven.
Sub-$1 delivery cost. Zero flake. 24/7. Below every human tip floor. A marketplace on top of that fleet doesn’t compete with DoorDash. It replaces the physical layer DoorDash rents.
Three tiers. One dispatcher. Routing is a function of distance × payload, not vertical.
The flake problem is not a training problem. It is a labor-market problem. You cannot fix it inside a labor market.
| METRIC | HUMAN DRIVER | AUTONOMOUS | NOTE |

Autonomous delivery is not a demo. It is a decade of shipped miles across every tier of the stack RACCT will route to.
A resale hoodie, a burrito, and a bag of groceries are the same object to the dispatcher. What matters is how far and how heavy.
function route(order) {
const d = order.distance_mi;
const w = order.payload_lb;
// no reference to category. no vertical.
if (d < 1.0 && w < 20) return 'BOT';
if (d < 5.0 && w < 5) return 'DRONE';
if (d < 30 && w < 500) return 'VAN';
return 'FREIGHT_HANDOFF';
}DoorDash rents fulfillment from a human labor pool that hates them. RACCT owns fulfillment because it owns the dispatcher and the fleet routes to. Every mile driven trains the router. Every route driven lowers the floor.
