⚠ One Scandal Undoes DecadesModerate threat
Dom Development (DOM) — threat to the moat
Trust is asymmetric: thirty years to build, one bad project to spend.
The trouble with a reputation moat is its asymmetry: it takes thirty years to build and can be badly damaged in a single season. A serious construction defect discovered across many buildings, a project that fails to complete, a safety scandal, or a wave of buyer complaints going viral would corrode the trust accumulated across more than 40 000 deliveries1 far faster than it was assembled. Buyers making the biggest purchase of their lives are unforgiving of exactly the failures a developer most fears, and in the age of online reviews and social media, a reputational blow travels instantly. The moat is real, but it is made of confidence, and confidence is the most flammable asset a company can own.
