# Competitive Moat Review

## When to use

Use this skill after commercial analysis has mapped the competitive landscape and before the exit multiple is set. Commercial analysis asks how attractive the industry is; this skill asks whether this company holds anything durable inside it. Run it wherever returns depend on margin holding or on exiting at or above entry -- and on every CIM that says "highly defensible".

## What it does

Produces a moat review: each candidate power tested against the evidence it requires, a verdict naming the one or two that survive and how long they last relative to the hold, and the terminal margin and exit multiple those conclusions support.

## Method

### Step 1 -- Apply the benefit-and-barrier test
