# Nick Sleep Scale Economies Shared

Use this skill to apply Nick Sleep-style long-term compounding: find businesses that share scale economies with customers, widen their moat by lowering prices, and compound for years with minimal trading.

## When To Use

- Amazon/Costco-style compounder analysis
- Customer-value flywheel review
- Long-term low-turnover portfolio decisions
- Whether scale benefits are shared or extracted

Trigger phrases include `Nick Sleep`, `Nomad`, `scale economies shared`, `Amazon`, `Costco`, `customer obsession`, and `long runway`.

## Process

1. Identify whether scale economies exist.
2. Determine whether savings are shared with customers or captured short-term.
3. Map flywheel: lower price, better experience, more volume, more scale.
4. Assess management time horizon and culture.
5. Ignore short-term valuation noise unless expectations are extreme.
