What may hold
Holds where replacing it means re-validating real work; erodes where lock-in rests on fees or data export.
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.
