A first-pass moat teardown of Intellect Design Arena Ltd., built from single-pass filing evidence. Free note — provisional, and the full two-pass deep dive may revise it. **Moat & Margin**16 Aug 2026 First-pass · \~3 min 5.09 / 10 NARROWBrand-led First-pass narrow read — primary edge in Cost Advantage. Provisional, single-pass evidence. Provisional score · subject to modification based on new evidence Intellect Design Arena Ltd. scores **5.09** on MoatSCORE 6.0 — a narrow moat in IT Services. 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.

Next will be, how do we the validation cycle, how do we bring in significant productivity.” **Intellect Design Arena Ltd.** · Earnings Call · p.19 D2Switching Costs5.2 M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim “we've been able to renew this contract, and we have actually renewed it with further more work” **Intellect Design Arena Ltd.** · Earnings Call · p.9 D4Price Discretion5.2 M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim “So, our product value which we are selling, we can sell at least 20% at higher premium to other market players using the Model Canvas 3” **Intellect Design Arena Ltd.** · Earnings Call · p.13 D5Intangible Assets5.2 M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim “Pre-built insurance-specific accelerators include hundreds of APIs, event-driven workflows, User Interface components, domain-specific data models and insurance-specific microservices enabling rapid deployment.” **Intellect Design Arena Ltd.** · Annual Report · p.37 D6Efficient Scale5.2 M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim “The broader IT industry has conventionally faced high attrition rates and challenges in retaining critical talent.” **Intellect Design Arena Ltd.** · Xbrl Text D1Network Effects4.5 M · Mechanism✓ Verified verbatim “Significant reliance on a particular product, customer, segments or geography may heighten the risk of revenue loss & consequential impact on the profitability in case of adverse conditions such as customer exit, volatile geo-political scenarios, sector specific slowdown etc.” **Intellect Design Arena Ltd.** · Xbrl Text 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?6.0 How hard it is for a rival to copy the edge (first-pass estimate). Bypass — can a rival route around it?5.0 How easily a rival can route around the edge (first-pass estimate). Effective barrier 5 — below 6, so the band is capped narrow. 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. **Where this note fits.** This company is one of **509 Indian companies** we have scored for moat durability — 370 narrow, 126 narrow-trending-wide, none wide.
