Why is this a Barren?Your planet has an unusual composition that doesn't fit standard classifications, or lacks the elements needed for complex geological processes.
Barren worlds can form from uncommon element combinations or may be remnants of larger bodies that lost their atmospheres and volatile materials.

Contributing Factors
water93
Abundant water - mostly frozen
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation10
Near tidally locked - one hemisphere perpetually scorched, other frozen, narrow habitable twilight zone only
Organic Chemistry54
Carbon and hydrogen present - organic chemistry possible (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry)
atmosphere20
CO₂ atmosphere with moderate greenhouse effect (partially stripped by slow rotation)
temperature70
Challenging but potentially habitable temperature
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

Surface Characteristics
Barren rocky surface with unusual elemental composition
Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Too warm for ice and too small to hold an atmosphere: the ice sublimated, leaving bare rock.
Tidal flexing melts its interior: an actively volcanic surface (Io-like).
