Intangible assets: moderate strength from brand name only federal awards, history serving DHS and DOJ, and a cleared, mission-grade platform; we score 60 given recent wins but adjust for early scale.

Switching costs: integration into existing VMS, workflows, and multi-year post-contract support creates practical friction; we score 55, as deployments are sticky but not irreplaceable.

Network effects: limited across customers, with some data compounding within a deployment; score 20. Cost advantage: small scale and reliance on commercial off-the-shelf components constrain cost leadership; score 35. Efficient scale: niche federal security domains with procurement and accreditation hurdles deter new entrants; score 50. Weighted outcome yields a developing but not entrenched moat that must be reinforced by recurring support revenue growth and broadened customer mix.

Evidence: product suite and positioning as intelligence layer, federal use-cases, and brand name only awards.
