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 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript describes a situation where Asana has already been chosen/designed into another organization's future product/program/platform, and that wave hasn't yet arrived, and the position is large relative to Asana. Let's analyze the transcript. The question is about whether management describes that the 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. And that the wave hasn't shipped yet, and the position is large. In the transcript, we see mentions of customer wins, expansions, ELAs, etc. For example, ViacomCBS, Fujitsu, Just Eat Takeaway, Cohesity, Gorillas. These are customers that have chosen Asana. But are these "future products, programs, platforms, build-outs" of those customers? The question is about being locked into another organization's future product/program. For example, if Asana is integrated into Zoom's app store, that's a partnership. But the question is about being chosen as a component or standard within another company's upcoming offering. Let's look for specific language. Dustin mentions "Asana for Zoom" integration, but that's a partnership, not necessarily a design win. The question is about being inside another organization's future product. For example, if a large enterprise has chosen Asana as its standard work management platform for a future rollout, that could be a design win. But the transcript describes customers expanding their use of Asana, signing multi-year agreements, etc. That is more like ordinary vendor sales, not being designed into a future product.

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.

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.
