Compound GrowthOne Year In: What Compound Growth Actually MeansOne year ago, Wheeler and Colin hit record on a podcast with no script, no audience, and no certainty it would go anywhere.

That makes them the logical starting point for a shared maritime picture that is persistent, sovereign-controlled, and politically neutral.The model is blunt: long-endurance Group 3 uncrewed aircraft such as the Raider 3-30 networked into a federated cloud where each nation keeps its own data keys but shares insights.
