How ASM scores on the Corporate Default defenses

Pricing Power

Score 72 · 20% of the moat score

Pricing power is the ability to raise prices without losing volume.

Cost Advantage

Score 67 · 15% of the moat score

A cost advantage means delivering the same product for structurally less — better purchasing, denser distribution, a more automated process.

Customer Stickiness

Score 34 · 15% of the moat score

Stickiness is what makes revenue repeat without being re-won every year.

Capital Efficiency

Score 42 · 18% of the moat score

Capital efficiency asks what the company earns on the money tied up in the business.

Resilience

Score 84 · 17% of the moat score

Resilience is the capacity to get through a bad year on its own terms — enough liquidity, enough interest cover, and enough cash generation to avoid a rescue financing or a forced sale.

Scale & Market Position

Score 58 · 15% of the moat score

Scale matters only when it converts into economics.

How is the moat score calculated?

Each company is scored with an industry-specific template — Corporate Default in this case, chosen because the defenses that matter to a bank are not the ones that matter to a software company. Every defense combines several financial signals, and each signal is measured as a percentile against a peer group of 15 companies in Other Precious Metals & Mining. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.

Why is Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. scored with the Corporate Default template?

Most public companies sell a product or a service at a margin, so the moat question is whether that margin survives contact with competitors. The Corporate template scores the six defenses that show up in a general operating company's financial signature: whether it can hold price, produce more cheaply than rivals, keep its customers, earn a return above its cost of capital, withstand a downturn, and turn size into economics.

Which competitive defenses are measured for Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.?

The Corporate Default template measures 6 defenses, and ASM scores: Pricing Power (72), Cost Advantage (67), Customer Stickiness (34), Capital Efficiency (42), Resilience (84), Scale & Market Position (58). Each is scored independently as a percentile against peers, so a company can be strong on one and weak on another — the overall score reflects how those defenses are weighted for this industry.
