Thematic Exposure -- 8/10

DoorDash is the #1 US restaurant delivery platform with ~57-67% share in an effective DASH/Uber Eats duopoly (combined ~90%+). >50% share in its primary, most-monetized segment. Price-setter on take rate and ad units. Theme is local commerce / convenience delivery growing ~15-20%+. Oligopoly gate PASS decisively. Held from 9-10 because international (Wolt/Deliveroo) is more competitive and the theme's long-run growth may moderate. Weight: 35%
