## Angel One Ltd.

A first-pass moat teardown of Angel One Ltd., built from single-pass filing evidence. Free note — provisional, and the full two-pass deep dive may revise it.

5.49 / 10

NARROWDistribution-led

First-pass narrow read — primary edge in Network Effects. Provisional, single-pass evidence.

Provisional score · subject to modification based on new evidence

Angel One Ltd. scores **5.49** on MoatSCORE 6.0 — a narrow moat in Broking. This is a **first-pass note**: the dimensional read and the filing receipts below come from a single GFIP evidence pass, not the full two-pass deep corpus behind our flagship deep dives. Provisional — published free while the deep version is queued.

The teardown 

## Seven dimensions of moat

Ordered by contribution. Each dimension carries a verified filing quote, graded **\[M\]** mechanism or **\[O\]** outcome.

D6Efficient ScaleExcluded—

Excluded for this archetype.

D8Ungoverned RiskUnscored · Layer 2.5

D8 rating: **ADEQUATE**. Not part of the moat score — it governs the cost of equity and the fade window. First-pass; not yet deep-reviewed.

The barrier gate 

## The barrier gate — first-pass

Replication — can a rival copy it?6.5

How hard it is for a rival to copy the edge (first-pass estimate).

Bypass — can a rival route around it?6.0

How easily a rival can route around the edge (first-pass estimate).

Effective barrier 6.0 — clears the gate. First-pass estimate.

What would change our mind

1. **Deep two-pass review.** This draft rests on a single GFIP evidence pass; the full 10-year AR + concall corpus may move the read.
2. **The barrier gate.** A firmer replication or bypass estimate is the most likely thing to shift the band.
3. **Adverse events.** Any governance, regulatory or funding shock captured in D8 could re-rate the fade window.

First-pass note — provisional single-pass MoatSCORE 6.0 read, not the full deep dive. Educational research, not investment advice; no buy/sell recommendation, no price target. Moat & Margin is not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst or Investment Adviser.
