Criteria Feedback
- You stated a clear, company-specific research question with a defined time frame.
- You maintained a generally coherent line of inquiry around NVIDIA’s software ecosystem and competitive advantage.
- You used a relevant set of business tools and comparative logic to structure the investigation.
- The question is still broad in places, especially around how software’s contribution is separated from hardware and market conditions.
- The methodology would be stronger if it explained more clearly how evidence, comparisons, and causation would be tested.
- Some claims in the introduction are a little too assertive before the evidence has been fully developed.

- You show clear understanding of key business ideas such as switching costs, differentiation, barriers to entry, and VRIO.
- You use terminology like ecosystem lock-in, customer concentration, and return on equity in a generally accurate way.
- You connect source material to the strategic role of CUDA and related software tools in a coherent way.
- Some evidence is used too confidently to support causal claims about financial outcomes.
- A few terms and concepts need tighter precision, especially where the business model or substitute relationships are described.
