Enterprise Analysis Frameworks

Apply these frameworks after completing the six-dimension data collection. Execute in order: SWOT → Competitive Barriers → Risk Matrix → Comprehensive Scoring.

SWOT Analysis Template

Each SWOT entry MUST include evidence and source attribution.

|              | Positive Factors                  | Negative Factors                  |
|--------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| **Internal** | **S (Strengths)**                 | **W (Weaknesses)**                |
|              | 1. {description}                  | 1. {description}                  |
|              |    • Evidence: {data/fact}        |    • Evidence: {data/fact}        |
|              |    • Source: {citation}           |    • Source: {citation}           |
|              |    • Impact: {assessment}         |    • Impact: {assessment}         |
|              |                                   |                                   |
| **External** | **O (Opportunities)**             | **T (Threats)**                   |
|              | 1. {description}                  | 1. {description}                  |
|              |    • Evidence: {trend/policy}     |    • Evidence: {pressure/risk}    |
|              |    • Source: {citation}           |    • Source: {citation}           |
|              |    • Probability: {assessment}    |    • Probability: {assessment}    |
|              |    • Impact: {assessment}         |    • Impact: {assessment}         |

Requirements:

• Each quadrant: 3-5 entries minimum
• Every entry must have evidence with source
• S/W must be data-backed (not opinions)
• O/T must include probability and impact estimates

Strategic Implications Matrix (generate after SWOT):

• SO Strategy (leverage strengths to capture opportunities): 1-2 specific recommendations
• WO Strategy (overcome weaknesses to seize opportunities): 1-2 specific recommendations
• ST Strategy (use strengths to counter threats): 1-2 specific recommendations
• WT Strategy (mitigate weaknesses to avoid threats): 1-2 specific recommendations

Competitive Barrier Quantification Framework

7 barrier dimensions with weighted scoring:

Dimension	Weight	Strong	Moderate	Weak
Network Effects	20%	4.5 — Clear network effects (social platforms, marketplaces)	3.0 — Exists but replaceable	1.5 — Minimal network effects
Scale Economies	15%	4.0 — Unit cost drops 30%+ with scale	2.5 — Cost drops 10-30%	1.0 — Cost drops <10%
Brand Value	15%	4.0 — Category leader, high pricing power	2.5 — Known brand, competitive	1.0 — Commodity brand, price-sensitive
Technology/Patents	15%	4.0 — Core patents, hard to circumvent	2.5 — Some patent protection	1.0 — Peripheral patents only
Switching Costs	15%	4.0 — High lock-in (data, ecosystem)	2.5 — Moderate switching friction	1.0 — Low switching cost
Regulatory Licenses	10%	3.5 — Heavy regulation, hard to obtain	2.0 — Standard regulatory requirements	0.5 — Light regulation
Data Assets	10%	3.5 — Massive proprietary high-quality data	2.0 — Some data accumulation	0.5 — Limited or public data

Scoring: Total = Σ(dimension score × weight)

Rating Scale:

Score	Rating	Interpretation
≥3.5	A+	Exceptional moat
≥2.8	A	Strong moat
≥2.0	B+	Good moat
≥1.5	B	Moderate moat
≥1.0	C+	Limited moat
<1.0	C	Weak moat

Output format: Present a scorecard table with each dimension's strength rating, raw score, justification (with evidence), and the weighted total with final rating.

Risk Matrix Framework

Assess 8 mandatory risk categories:

Risk Assessment Scales

Probability:

Level	Range	Score
High	>70%	0.7-1.0
Medium	30-70%	0.3-0.7
Low	<30%	0.0-0.3

Impact:

Level	Description	Score
High	>30% revenue impact	3
Medium	10-30% revenue impact	2
Low	<10% revenue impact	1

Risk Level: Risk Value = Probability Score × Impact Score

Color	Level	Threshold
Red	High risk	≥2.5
Yellow	Medium risk	1.0 – 2.5
Green	Low risk	<1.0

8 Mandatory Risk Categories

#	Category	Typical Triggers
1	Market risk	Industry slowdown, demand shifts
2	Competitive risk	New entrants, incumbents pivoting
3	Technology risk	Tech obsolescence, disruption
4	Regulatory risk	Policy tightening, compliance cost
5	Financial risk	Cash flow stress, debt levels
6	Operational risk	Key talent loss, supply chain
7	Talent risk	Brain drain, recruiting difficulty
8	Geopolitical risk	Trade friction, data localization

Risk Table Format

Category	Specific Risk	Probability	Impact	Risk Value	Level	Evidence/Triggers	Current Mitigations	Recommended Actions

Requirements:

• All 8 categories must be assessed (no skipping)
• Each risk entry must cite specific evidence or triggers
• Provide current mitigations AND recommended actions
• High risks: require immediate action plans
• Medium risks: require monitoring plans
• Low risks: require periodic review schedule

Comprehensive Scoring (Final Section)

After completing SWOT, barriers, and risk matrix, generate a comprehensive scorecard:

| Dimension | Score | Weight | Weighted | Key Evidence |
|-----------|-------|--------|----------|-------------|
| Business Quality | X/10 | 25% | | |
| Competitive Position | X/10 | 20% | | |
| Financial Health | X/10 | 20% | | |
| Growth Potential | X/10 | 15% | | |
| Risk Profile | X/10 | 10% | | |
| Management Quality | X/10 | 10% | | |
| **Total** | | 100% | **X/10** | |

Every score must reference specific evidence from the six-dimension data collection.
