After that, the framework can help assess whether customers can switch easily, whether essential suppliers hold leverage, how difficult it is for new firms to enter and whether alternative ways of meeting the same customer need could constrain demand.

For the properly identified NSL business, political and legal questions may concern policy direction, regulation or contractual requirements; economic factors may affect costs, customer budgets or financing conditions; social and technological changes may alter demand and delivery; environmental conditions may influence operations, expectations or compliance.

Strengths and weaknesses are internal: they may relate to resources, know-how, customer relationships, operating processes or financial capacity once supported by evidence. Opportunities and threats are external: they arise from market demand, technology, industry structure, regulation or wider conditions. Keeping that distinction clear matters because an attractive market trend is not automatically a strength, and an internal limitation is not the same as an external threat.
