Competitors can reproduce your discernment as well, it's the sum of your product and can be equally cloned. So how is this a moat?


Because reproduction is reactive. If an organisation only clones others' style then they'll always be behind the curve and will be widely recognised to be derivative and lacking their own 'taste'.

Look how long it takes Chinese brands to transition from being clones to establishing their own corporate image.
