Nauti's Take
For small AI teams, location is becoming an operational variable. Before expanding infrastructure, verify grid access, water use, local permits, and community sentiment, then test communication and fallback plans early.
Cloud contracts can provide capacity, but they do not remove local political and infrastructure risk.
