In software, pricing power is visible in gross margin: a vendor that has to discount in order to renew gives it up first.
Recurring revenue is the model's central claim, and it is a moat only when customers renew and expand without being re-sold each year.
Software is competed away rather than depreciated, so a vendor that stops investing loses its category.
The test of a software business is whether growth eventually stops consuming cash.
A software platform employs very little capital, so a genuine franchise should produce high returns on it without leverage.
Software companies fund years of customer acquisition before those customers pay back, which makes access to capital a strategic variable rather than a treasury detail.

Each company is scored with an industry-specific template — Software & SaaS Specialized 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 263 companies in Software - Application. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.
Software costs almost nothing to reproduce, so the entire economic question is whether customers keep paying. Revenue is a subscription rather than a sale, the cost of winning a customer is paid years before that customer becomes profitable, and margins arrive only if renewals hold. The Software & SaaS template scores retention, reinvestment, and the point at which growth turns into cash.
The Software & SaaS Specialized template measures 6 defenses, and ETWO scores: Pricing Power (not measurable), Recurring Revenue Stickiness (not measurable), Innovation Engine (not measurable), Cash Scalability (not measurable), Capital Efficiency (not measurable), Balance Sheet Resilience (not measurable). 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.
