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 33 companies in Furnishings, Fixtures & Appliances. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.
Why is MillerKnoll, Inc. 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 MillerKnoll, Inc.?
The Corporate Default template measures 6 defenses, and MLKN scores: Pricing Power (76), Cost Advantage (55), Customer Stickiness (37), Capital Efficiency (65), Resilience (43), Scale & Market Position (69). 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.
