Hamilton Helmer's 2016 strategy book laying out the seven (and only seven, he argues) durable sources of business power: Scale Economies, Network Economies, Counter-Positioning, Switching Costs, Branding, Cornered Resource, and Process Power. It's the strategy bible in Silicon Valley because it separates real moats from lazy ones (first-mover, "great team", etc.). Useful as a self-audit for FeatureOS and SupportWire: which power are we actually building, and which are we kidding ourselves about?
