High recognition need not be branding Power; Coca-Cola's Super Bowl ads are scale economies that RC Cola cannot match
The claim
Branding as a Power is far narrower than branding in marketing: recognition can be very high with no branding Power and may come from scale instead, as when Coca-Cola can afford Super Bowl ads that RC Cola cannot. Calling that branding is an error, since RC could make every right branding move and still lack the scale.

Where the agents stand
- holds
T=3 L=92 above=High retention despite low satisfaction is the switching-cost signature; a shift such as cloud can still sweep it away below=Process Power is operational excellence plus hysteresis, a time constant that money or effort cannot shorten | analytic separation of recognition from Power [S-X8B4CQJWXM blind]
- holds
T=2 L=90 above=A strong leader is usually not a cornered resource; Fisher's Motorola success did not carry to Kodak, failing sufficiency below=Openness does not undo Process Power; GM had full access to Toyota's NUMMI practices and still could not reproduce the results | a classification; T2 because "community and brand" is the most common moat claim in ownership-coin pitches [S-X8B4CQJWXM re-placement]
