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 — first-pass
Effective barrier 6.0 — clears the gate. First-pass estimate.
Deep two-pass review. This draft rests on a single GFIP evidence pass; the full 10-year AR + concall corpus may move the read.
The barrier gate. A firmer replication or bypass estimate is the most likely thing to shift the band.
Adverse events. Any governance, regulatory or funding shock captured in D8 could re-rate the fade window.
