I am analyzing industries and putting them into a scorecard to create an index. I am using the scorecard to determine which industries have the best qualities and where to focus my search efforts. I struggle to decide which factors or metrics are more important than others. What weights do you apply to famous industry metrics on your scorecard? I shared mine below, for example, and would love some feedback about weights or any missing items. I score every metric from 1-3, with 3 being the best score.

Thanks for the help.


-Growth Potential 25%

-Recurring or Contracted Revenue 10%

-Industry Size 10%

-Fragmented 10%

-Cyclicality 15%

-Capital Intensity 5%

-Barriers to Entry 10%

-Simplicity 5%

-Disrutpion Risk 10%

People could go through various kinds of agonizing analysis or they can simply find and buy long-standing businesses that are and have been profitable and which show proven and sustainable competitive advantages. Cut to the chase to get the best deals before buyer competition realizes that bookwork belongs in college and dealmaking is what we do in real time.
