What this tells you

High-scoring industries hold strong knowledge or talent moats — but that same asymmetry can create dependency on scarce expertise and risk of innovation stagnation.

Top 25 — Structural Knowledge Asymmetry

Ranked directly by the Structural Knowledge Asymmetry score (GTIAS ER07) — not a pillar average. Score out of 5.0 — higher indicates greater structural risk exposure.
