TERTIARY
A completely new satellite constellation and quantum sensor network designed specifically to track real-time commodity flows across global supply chains. This system requires building novel quantum magnetometry satellites, ground-based gravitational wave detectors for cargo mass detection, and AI processing centers that don't exist yet. Revenue comes from selling predictive commodity flow data to institutional investors before traditional shipping/logistics data becomes available.
