Frank,

Is "early mover status" a metric you found in the rfm, or was it borrowed from some other evaluation model?

Assuming a company has an open, proprietary technology, its status as an early mover can be significant if the product category makes its way across the chasm. It's not necessarily true that the company that knocks down the most bowling pins first will be the strongest gorilla candidate, but if the company executes well in all other aspects it can be a tremendous advantage once the tornado forms. In other words, my thinking is that being first to market isn't as much a deterrent to competition as it is an enhancement of one's own attributes.
