Already inside the gate: the company is specified into someone else's next wave, and the wave has not yet shipped
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2017 call → NOWe need answer only YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Need determine if management describes company already chosen/qualified/designed into another organization's future product/program/platform/build-out/standard operating plan, with wave not yet arrived, and position large relative to company, preparing. Let's read transcript. It's about ABM Industries, facilities services. They discuss 2020 Vision, standard operating practices "The ABM Way", pilots, etc. They mention sales force project, technology. They mention tag revenue. They mention Aviation, Technical Solutions, Government sale. They mention "we have been chosen, specified, qualified, designed in"? No. They talk about their own initiatives, not being inside someone else's next thing. They mention "we are now on to Phase II of 2020 Vision" internal. They mention "we commenced deployment of The ABM Way" internal. They mention "we have begun to capture savings" etc. No mention of being selected by a larger party for their future product. They mention "we are becoming more sophisticated" etc. They mention "we have kicked off the project with sales force, develop a customized solution involving software and applications" - that's their own use of Salesforce, not being inside Salesforce's product. They mention "we'll continue to focus on evaluating evolution of IT infrastructure" etc. No. Question asks: On this call, does management describe that company has ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN, SPECIFIED, QUALIFIED, DESIGNED IN, OR OTHERWISE LOCKED INTO POSITION INSIDE ANOTHER ORGANIZATION'S FUTURE PRODUCT, PROGRAM, PLATFORM, BUILD-OUT, OR STANDARD OPERATING PLAN — such that when that outside party's own next wave of activity arrives, this company's volume arrives with it automatically — AND does management convey that this position is secured today while the wave itself has not yet shipped, launched, ramped, or begun at scale? No such thing. They discuss their own 2020 Vision, internal standard practices. They discuss "we have a lot of work ahead" but not being inside another's plan. They discuss "we are confident" etc. No. Answer NO.

CUBI · Q3 2018 → YESThe question is about whether management describes that the company has already been chosen or locked into another organization's future product/program, such that volume will come automatically when ...NO The transcript describes a white-label partnership with T-Mobile where BankMobile provides services under T-Mobile's brand, with deposits expected to start in the next year after the launch. However, this does not meet the criteria for a secured position inside T-Mobile's next product or program. The language focuses on a partnership relationship that is still being launched, rather than a design win or qualification already embedded in T-Mobile's future offering. Management refers to it as an "expected white label partnership" and "working on" the launch, indicating it is not yet locked in as part of T-Mobile's committed plan.
EMKR · Q4 2023 → YESThe question is about whether management describes that the company has already been chosen or locked into another organization's future product/program, such that volume will come automatically when ...NO The transcript describes an agreement with Kratos for Inertial Navigation Systems to be included in the XQ58 Valkyrie drone, with the Air Force planning to acquire at least 1,000 units. However, this is framed as an announcement of a new agreement rather than a secured, locked-in position already designed 100% into the platform with volume guaranteed.
