How is the moat score calculated?

Every defense combines several financial signals, and each signal is measured as a percentile against a peer group of 90 companies in Drug Manufacturers - Specialty & Generic. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.
Why is Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, 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 Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Inc.?
The Corporate Default template measures 6 defenses, and SNOA scores: Pricing Power (39), Cost Advantage (53), Customer Stickiness (35), Capital Efficiency (31), Resilience (29), Scale & Market Position (49). 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.
