Add industry file: Logistics / Supply Chain #193

Description

@glacierphonk

Task

Add a logistics naming guide at `industries/logistics.md`. Depends on #180.

Why logistics naming is distinct

  • Reliability signaling — logistics is about things arriving on time. The name must feel dependable, not flashy
  • B2B audience — supply chain managers are practical. Names that sound like consumer apps feel unserious
  • Physical world metaphors — logistics maps perfectly to physical metaphors: routes, warehouses, fleets, containers
  • "Last mile" obsession — the industry has its own jargon. When to use it vs when to transcend it
  • Global operations — logistics names must work across languages and cultures more than most B2B products

Sections to cover

  • Case studies: Flexport, Shippo, ShipBob, project44, FourKites, Samsara
  • Anti-patterns: "Ship[X]", "[X]Freight", "Log[X]" — exhausted patterns
  • Territory map: Navigation/routing, flow/pipeline, fleet/convoy, precision/tracking
