Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal heat sustains a subsurface ocean over a rock seafloor: a strong candidate for life (Europa-like, 70/100).
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
A thin tidal-warmed subsurface ocean may exist, but conditions are marginal (27/100).
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
