Competitors cannot copy, purchase, or arbitrage this asset. Narrative provenance functions as an asset class with measurable economic value and a legally defensible claim on organizational identity. Organizations building strong narrative provenance command premium valuations, weather market disruptions, and generate loyalty exceeding product features. Research extends the preservation framework for digital identifiers into the strategic domain of organizational identity.
