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 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript contains a situation where the company is already chosen/specified/qualified inside another organization's future product/program/platform, and that wave hasn't arrived yet, and the position is large relative to the company. Let's analyze the transcript. The company is OrganiGram, a cannabis LP. They discuss international shipments, capacity expansion, etc. Key points: They have international shipments to Cannatrek, Medcan in Australia, Canndoc in Israel. They mention "we expect to make further international shipments in fiscal 2022 and are working on potential opportunities to expand supply arrangements into Europe, leveraging our capacity from the expansion at Moncton." That's about potential opportunities, not secured. They talk about the 4C expansion at Moncton, which is substantially complete, with rooms coming online. They expect to increase capacity. That's their own expansion, not another party's. They mention the product development collaboration with BAT. They say "This research, part of the product development collaboration agreement with BAT, will enable us to continue to produce unique, exciting products for Canadian consumers and create proprietary IP that we can introduce globally." That's a collaboration, but is it a secured position inside BAT's next product? The transcript doesn't specify that BAT has a product or program that OrganiGram is designed into. It's more of a research collaboration. They also mention the acquisition of Laurentian, and expanding distribution of Tremblant hash, etc. The question is about being "already chosen, specified, qualified, designed in, or otherwise locked into position inside another organization's future product, program, platform, build-out, or standard operating plan." The transcript doesn't seem to describe such a specific situation. The international shipments are just sales to distributors, not a secured position in a larger party's next wave. The BAT collaboration is not described as a specific product or program that OrganiGram is designed into. Also, the company's own capacity expansion is not about being inside another party's next thing. Thus, the answer is 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.
