Safe harbor
Safe harbor refers to indicative thresholds used to identify transactions that are likely to raise limited concentration concerns.
Why it matters
It provides a quick first filter for risk prioritisation, while still requiring full local-market analysis behind the file.
In practice
Teams usually read it with HHI and delta HHI first, then refine the view with local proximity, formats and relevant-market logic.
Common mistake
Treating safe harbor thresholds as an automatic conclusion rather than an analytical shortcut.
Turn point-of-sale data into usable market share / HHI analysis
