JobCoffin's Defensible Competitive Moat

Five unique advantages no competitor can replicate without complete platform redesign.

1

Only ADHD-Specialized Job Platform

Market Position: 50M+ adults with ADHD, zero specialized job platforms.

Barrier to Entry: Competitors would need to rebuild entire UX, coach training, and feature set around ADHD neuroscience. Teal/Careerflow can't pivot without alienating 650K existing neurotypical users.

2

Email-Only Delivery (No App)

Market Position: Only career platform that lives in user's inbox. Zero downloads, zero logins, zero forgotten dashboards.

Barrier to Entry: Competitors built entire tech stacks around web dashboards and mobile apps. Would require complete architecture rewrite.

3

24/7 Crisis Support (PANIC Command)

Market Position: Only platform with instant crisis intervention for job search paralysis and rejection sensitivity.

Barrier to Entry: Requires ADHD-trained coaches on-call 24/7 + AI systems designed for emotional de-escalation. No competitor has this infrastructure.

4

Variable Reward Scheduler (VR-10)

Market Position: Only platform using B.F. Skinner's variable ratio reinforcement to combat ADHD task initiation paralysis.

Barrier to Entry: Proprietary 3,456-combination algorithm. Requires deep understanding of ADHD neuroscience + behavioral psychology. Protected by research data.

5

Research-Oriented Protocol

Market Position: Only platform building ADHD-specific career dataset for institutional research review. Research submission planned at 1,000 members for predictive intelligence validation.

Barrier to Entry: Building comprehensive dataset for institutional research review requires ethics design and data governance infrastructure. Network effects: more users = better predictions = more users.
