Shared Reference

All analysts read references/moat-framework.md before starting. Defines the five MOAT dimensions, defensibility scales, competitive taxonomy, pressure categories, and sovereignty spectrum.

Workflow

1. Check for existing audit data (doc-suite, code-audit, security-audit, infra-cost)
2. Eight specialist analysts run in parallel
3. Executive summary synthesizes all findings

Integration

• Reads from: Doc suite (business benefits, tech spec, innovation themes), code audit, security audit, infra cost audit — whatever exists
• Pairs with: /doc-suite-generator provides the foundation
• Feeds into: Strategic planning, investor materials, pivot decisions

Use Cases

• 04. How defensible is your product, really?
