seven-powers-moat-audit

Runs a structured defensibility audit based on Hamilton Helmer's 7 Powers framework, covering scale economies, network effects, counter-positioning, switching costs, branding, cornered resources, and process power. The skill scores a business against all seven, matches viable powers to the company's lifecycle stage, maps rival moats and their weak points, and ranks initiatives by barrier impact and feasibility. Use when judging whether a company, competitor, or acquisition target has a real moat, when choosing which advantage to build next, when growth fails to turn into profit, or when planning entry against an incumbent. Not for company valuation, financial modeling, legal or regulatory advice, or writing marketing copy.
