Problem

Scenario

You are advising a company that has launched a new initiative and is seeing early traction. Leadership wants to know whether the gains reflect a real strategic advantage or just a temporary lift from timing, pricing, or execution. The team needs a clear way to judge if the initiative is building a moat that competitors will struggle to copy.

Question

How would you evaluate whether a new initiative is creating a durable moat?
