Author argues CRWV is attractive as a small starter position and a leveraged equity claim on persistent AI compute scarcity, not merely on AI growth. The mechanism is debt-financed buildout of power, sites, networking, and deployment speed that can earn re-leasing value and lower financing costs if lenders accept GPU residual value. The author's 2031 scenario tree yields ~23% CAGR base case and ~54% CAGR bull case, watched via revenue per MW and operating profit per MW after depreciation and financing. Main risk is that interest expense and rapid GPU depreciation can vaporize equity even if AI succeeds, especially if backlog stalls, customer concentration worsens, financing spreads widen, or compute scarcity disappears before the debt matures.
