VRIO
Describe a business — score its resources on VRIO for sustained advantage.
How it works
Corpus-grounded (resource-based view / Barney via the strategy cluster). Scores each resource on Valuable/Rare/Inimitable/Organized, derives the competitive implication (parity → temporary → unused → sustained), names the durable advantages, and flags the gaps.
You bring
{ business, cluster? }
You get
{ business_summary, resources[]{resource, valuable, rare, inimitable, organized, implication}, sustained_advantages[], gaps_to_address[], riskiest_assumptions[], grounded_in, provenance }
Use it for
- →Strategy-guide reader: separate real moats from nice-to-haves
- →Find an unused advantage (valuable+rare+inimitable but not organized)
- →See where the business is competitively exposed
