What may hold
Holds for networks of identified, transacting parties; erodes for networks built on content alone.
Associations are not causal evidence. Zero matched works is a coverage gap, not evidence against this moat. Literature activity is not market performance.
AI durability is an expectation; no moat type has yet been shown to predict profit persistence in the AI era. Not investment advice.
