Moat scores for companies ranked near NNAVW in Software - Infrastructure
How NNAVW scores on the Software & SaaS Specialized defenses
Pricing Power
Score 7
· 20% of the moat score
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 Stickiness
Score 40
· 18% of the moat score
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.
Innovation Engine
Score 16
· 16% of the moat score
Software is competed away rather than depreciated, so a vendor that stops investing loses its category.
Cash Scalability
Score 44
· 18% of the moat score
The test of a software business is whether growth eventually stops consuming cash.
Capital Efficiency
Score 30
· 16% of the moat score
A software platform employs very little capital, so a genuine franchise should produce high returns on it without leverage.
Balance Sheet Resilience
Score 62
· 12% of the moat score
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.

How is the moat score calculated?
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 175 companies in Software - Infrastructure. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.
Why is NextNav Inc. Warrant scored with the Software & SaaS Specialized template?
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.
Which competitive defenses are measured for NextNav Inc. Warrant?
The Software & SaaS Specialized template measures 6 defenses, and NNAVW scores: Pricing Power (7), Recurring Revenue Stickiness (40), Innovation Engine (16), Cash Scalability (44), Capital Efficiency (30), Balance Sheet Resilience (62). 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.
