Market Contestability & Exit Friction

Market Contestability & Exit Friction measures the structural fluidness of an industry, including barriers to entry and exit. High scores indicate significant permit or knowledge-based gating for new entrants and substantial friction for incumbents wishing to exit. The primary business impact is reduced strategic agility and the potential for stranded assets in a declining market.

Structural assessment of industry fluidness. Measures the 'Permit/Knowledge Gating' for entrants and the 'Liability/Asset Lock' for incumbents, independent of current market competitiveness.
