The number, range and band describe one invented reading. The shape illustrates the advantage’s profile without calculating the index.

Drag or use arrow keys to rotate. Home resets. Rotation pauses on hover or focus. Reduced motion uses a static view. 2D view. Match numbered tips to the values below. Reference line: Moat Index 58. Halo width is ±10 × uncertainty points, clipped to 0–100; it is not a confidence interval.
All supplied dimensions. Values 0–100; uncertainty 0–1.

03Moat types and AI direction
The team declares three invented capabilities; none establishes verified approval or rights.
Agentic + physical AI
Licences & approvals
Customer qualification and site acceptance take calendar time.
Physical & tacit process
Operators learn how to set up and recover each inspection cell.
Rights-cleared data
The team needs documented rights to retain customer outcome data.
04Global MDI context
Compare these types in the published Moat Type Index. Research associations and expected AI durability describe types, without assessing this company or its returns.

Exclusive, documented rights do not get easier to copy as agents improve.
Momentum compares average yearly research activity in 2023–2025 with 2018–2020, not market performance. AI durability is an expectation, not a measured outcome. Zero matched works is a coverage gap, not evidence against a moat.
