Provisional score · subject to modification based on new evidence

Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. scores **5.56** on MoatSCORE 6.0 — a narrow-to-wide moat in Consumer Durables. 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.

D7Counter-PositioningExcluded—

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 — at or above 6, consistent with a narrow-to-wide read. 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.
