This template breaks down all five forces: threat of new entrants, supplier power, buyer power, industry rivalry, and substitutes. It links each force to real items in this market-equipment manufacturers and inventory (supplier power), homeowners and remodel budgets (buyer power), local installers and pricing (rivalry), point-of-use filters and bottled water (substitutes), and licensing plus fleet investment (barriers to entry). Jargon: barriers to entry (costs and licensing). One-liner: force-by-force tradeoffs made explicit.

Use it to prioritize sales territories and partnership outreach. One-liner: industry nuance that informs real decisions.
