In software, platform shifts re-open origination every few years, so many markets never sit in Helmer's stability stage long enough for his rule that share is cheap only in takeoff to bind; share can be bought repeatedly, at each shift, and the incumbent's scale or network barrier must be re-won rather than held.

  T=3 L=55 above=Helmer: share is won on attractive terms only in takeoff; before it there are no sales, after it every player prices share below=Helmer: network Power must be won in takeoff, where tipping makes early relative scaling, often won by product, decisive | PUSHBACK: L 55 vs Leo's 65. A shift re-opens origination for the new layer, not the old market: Microsoft crossed to cloud and Apple to mobile with scale and cornered resources intact. It is Helmer's rule applied per layer, not an exception; still the reason venture returns exist at all
