Thanks @CanadianAussie for the links and for a great presentation on 7 Powers!
Your Strawman preso got me to dive deeper on the 7 Powers book and I'm now thinking how to better formalise this and other moat / competition / strategy models in my process.

Other Moat resources
My favourite book on Moats is The Little Book That Builds Wealth (2008) - by Pat Dorsey.
Michael Mauboussin released another update on his Measuring the Moat paper this year - https://www.morganstanley.com/im/publication/insights/articles/article_measuringthemoat.pdf
The more I get into moats the more I realise they are a subset of Competition which is really a subset of Strategy.
Michael Mauboussin's Expectations Investing (2nd Ed, 2021) argues that you can't separate Competition (incl Moats) from Strategy - so he's on the same page as Helmer.
Bruce Greenwald's Competition Demystified (2005) tries to simplify the Porter's 5 Forces model - the OG on Competitive Strategy as it was called back then. Greenwald lands on Barriers to Entry as the key factor - so again aligned with Helmer's Benefit (common) & Barrier (uncommon) structure for each Power.
