Executive Summary

Torq’s durable hold on customers is operational, not technological. Managed providers run their own service delivery on the platform, and RSM automates 82% of its global customer cases on Torq, harder to unwind than any feature. DarkReading reports that customers can build or connect agents using Anthropic, Google, or OpenAI models, and no proprietary Torq model is evidenced publicly, so the agents are not the moat. Torq carries the commercial security attestations enterprises expect, but the federal authorization its January 2026 round was meant to fund is not in the public record yet. The integration library and workflow templates are genuine assets that a funded rival could still rebuild. What a buyer pays for is how Torq embeds, not the model underneath.
