What is the radius bridge for a compound neck?
On most guitars, the fingerboard has a radius and, most of the time, this radius is consistent along the length of the neck. This means, if the radius is 10” at the nut, it's also 10” at the last fret. And, for the purposes of setting up, you would generally set the bridge saddles so the strings follow this 10” radius.
