The mechanism

The chart plots pricing power over five years for two paths. The green specialist line stays high and steady. The red generalist line slides down year after year as the work gets more ordinary and leans more on the founder. A shaded gap between the two lines is labeled the erosion nobody prices in. One risk might hit you someday; the other is already showing up in your numbers every quarter.

Part of Positioning. Who you are for and why you are the obvious choice.
