The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.

Why is Hennessy Capital Investment Corp VII - Units (1 Ord Shs & 1 Rts) 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.
