Composes with	The chaining hook is wallets, not accounts: 'When you create a group, a separate Group Wallet will automatically be generated. This wallet is independent of your personal wallet and comes pre-allocated with additional credits.' Investigator groups also carry the 500 GB group file storage. Many groups = many 500 GB pools, and the group storage is separate from the 50 GB personal pool.
Reliability	Credits are not top-up-able ('additional ones will not be provided to you') and do not carry over — a storage-heavy month silently stops you until the next quarter.
