Nauti's Take

Before a small team adds more AI features to its stack, it should map monthly cloud, API, and control costs to a measurable output for each workflow. Bloomberg is the only source provided here, and it does not show which of Sea’s investments are already improving revenue or efficiency.

That attribution should be tested for four weeks before scaling the setup.
