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 — Q3 2017 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript describes a situation where HealthStream is already chosen/designed into another organization's future product/program, and that wave hasn't shipped yet, and it's large relative to the company. Key points: HealthStream has agreements with Laerdal for HeartCode and RQI products expiring Dec 31, 2018. They will lose rights to sell those products after that. They have signed two new strategic partners in last 100 days to bring new resuscitation solutions to market in January 2019. They are preparing to launch new products. The new partnerships will feature more favorable margins, better price points, and more control. They are in development mode. The wave is the new resuscitation products launching in 2019. They have already signed partners, so they are secured in that sense? But the question is about being inside another organization's next thing. Here, HealthStream is the one bringing products to market with partners. The partners are the ones providing products? Actually, HealthStream is partnering with other companies to bring new resuscitation solutions. So HealthStream is the one that will sell these new products. The "other party" is the partner? But the partner is not necessarily a larger organization with a next act. The situation is that HealthStream is developing its own new products with partners. The wave is HealthStream's own launch. That doesn't fit the pattern of being designed into someone else's product. Alternatively, consider the OB Risk program co-developed with MedStar SiTEL. They co-developed an OB risk program that they co-own. A large customer selected it for system-wide deployment. That is a product they own, not being inside another's next thing. The question asks: "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" - that is, HealthStream is a component or supplier to another company's upcoming offering. Here, HealthStream is the one selling to hospitals. The hospitals are the customers, not the other way. The new resuscitation products are HealthStream's own products with partners. So no. Also, the Laerdal agreement is expiring, and they are losing rights. That is not a secured position; it's a loss. Thus, 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.

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.
