Igor's call, in full

Retail is not about ads. It is about infrastructure. Amazon built a time-compression machine, a grid of data, robotics, and delivery nodes that turns clicks into doorstep outcomes, and it keeps compounding. This one already landed. The FY2024 scoreboard: $638 billion in net sales, $68.6 billion in operating income, and $59.2 billion in net income. AWS alone delivered $107.6 billion in revenue and holds roughly 30 percent of the cloud market. In 2025 Amazon extended same-day and next-day Prime to over 4,000 smaller cities on more than $4 billion of network investment. The lesson stands: competitors can copy features, very few can copy the grid. Proximity, precision, and pace compound into a moat advertising can never buy.

AMAZON FY2024: $638 BILLION NET SALES, $68.6 BILLION OPERATING INCOME.
AWS: $107.6 BILLION REVENUE, ~30% CLOUD MARKET SHARE.
