We've accepted an invitation to join the Peachscore+Gust Data-driven Accelerator. This month's post was to be a review of Cambridge researcher Diane Coyle's (2022) valuation analysis; and we are juggling. So, for this month, a short post about an observation about market sectors.
The Root Taxonomy of Goods and Services - More than Dual-Use?
Goods and services generally get classed into three sector classes:
- Civilian
- Military/national security
- Dual-Use (use cases in both sectors)
This has never been really exactly true, as there are numerous goods and services that are not purely civilian consumer (individual & household) offers. These include various public administration and safety segments ranging from police and rescue to wastewater and pothole maintenance.
The better structure might be to say that there are five sector classes:
- Civilian;
- Civil Aid; and
- Military/National Security:
- #1, #2, and #3 are (#4) Triple-Use; and
- #2 and #3 are (#5) Dual-Use:
