Competitive Moat

Definitions

1. A durable advantage that helps a company resist competition, such as distribution, data, brand, network effects, or switching costs. The term is often used to separate real defensibility from temporary lead time.

   In plain English: A lasting advantage that makes a business harder for competitors to copy or beat.

   Example: "Feature velocity is nice, but investors wanted to hear about competitive moat."
