Five Measures, Side by Side

Each company drawn as a five-sided shape. The further a corner reaches toward the edge, the stronger that company is on that measure. Turn companies on or off to compare any of them. Starts with Fiserv, the software leader (Stripe), and the card-rails giant (Visa).

Reach: how far this company's network and customer base extend.
Product: how modern and capable its technology is.
Trust & Compliance: how much regulators, banks, and customers trust it.
Ecosystem Pull: how hard it is to leave once you're built on it.
Money Engine: how strongly the business turns volume into profit.

How to read this. A bigger, more even shape means a company is strong across the board. A lopsided shape shows where it leans. Compare the three starting companies and the contrast is clear: Stripe stretches toward Product and Ecosystem Pull, Visa stretches toward Reach and Money Engine, and Fiserv holds solid reach and ecosystem pull but pulls in sharply on Product and on Trust & Compliance · the two corners where it trails the leaders.
