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 — Q4 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript describes a situation where the company is already chosen/designed into another party's future product/program, the wave hasn't arrived yet, and the position is large relative to the company. Let's analyze. The transcript discusses Organogenesis Holdings. Key points: They have a product ReNu for knee osteoarthritis. They are conducting Phase 3 clinical trials. They completed interim analysis of 50% of patients, and DMC instructed to continue. They are also planning a second Phase 3 study. They expect to present strategy to FDA to propose that completed 200-patient RCT and first Phase 3 study together represent valid scientific evidence. They expect BLA approval in first half of 2025 if accepted, or later if second trial needed. Is this about being "inside someone else's next thing"? The FDA is a regulatory body, not a customer. The company is seeking approval for its own product. That's not a design win into another party's product. The company is developing its own therapy. The "wave" is its own product launch, not another party's program. So that doesn't fit. What about CMS? They discuss CMS publishing ASPs for skin substitutes. They mention that PuraPly is published, and they expect growth in non-PuraPly products. But that's about pricing and reimbursement, not being selected as a component in another's product. They are selling their own products. The question asks: "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" - that doesn't seem to apply here. The company is not a supplier to another organization's product. They are a medical device company selling directly. The only possible "other organization" could be CMS (government) but that's a payer, not a product. Or maybe they are designed into a hospital's protocol? But they don't say that. They talk about "competitive noise" and "customer uncertainty" but no specific design win. Thus, 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.
