This rates structural risks that go beyond the pure metrics and only become visible in the annual report.
Why does this matter?
Some risks appear in no metric: a concentration risk (dependence on a few customers, products or one region), legal or regulatory threats, or hidden balance-sheet risks. They can seriously hit an otherwise strong company.
What MoatLens looks at:
How dependent is the company on single factors? Do regulation or lawsuits loom? Are there risks on the balance sheet? This dimension can only mark down or stay neutral – the greater the structural risk, the more negative.
In MoatLens this explanation sits right next to the number — one tap away. And you see the ten-year trend instead of a single value.
