Are COST and ZZ-B.ST both Consumer Defensive stocks?

Yes: both Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) and Zinzino AB (publ) (ZZ-B.ST) operate in the Consumer Defensive sector. That makes this a direct sector-peer comparison, which is the apples-to-apples way to use the Buffett-Fit framework: the score weighs each stock against its sector's specific quality and valuation benchmarks (sector-relative bonus), so the cross-stock comparison isn't distorted by inter-sector base-rate differences.
