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 2021 call → NOWe need answer only YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question asks if management describes company already chosen/specified/qualified/designed into another organization's future product/program/platform/build-out/standard operating plan, such that when outside party's next wave arrives, company's volume arrives automatically, and position secured today while wave not yet shipped/launched/ramped. Need use only transcript. Look for evidence. Management mentions NIST selected Tenable as one of 18 technologies demoing as part of Zero Trust initiative concepts and demos in lab. That is a selection/qualification? "NIST has recently selected Tenable as one of 18 technologies, that they're demoing as part of their Zero Trust initiative concepts in demos, in lab." This is a secured position inside NIST's Zero Trust initiative? NIST is a government agency, program. Wave not yet arrived? They say "tremendous opportunity for continued growth in federal" and "exceptionally well positioned to capitalize." But is this a "position secured today while wave itself has not yet shipped, launched, ramped, or begun at scale"? NIST selected Tenable as one of 18 technologies for demos in lab. That is being part of a program. But is it a future product/program? NIST Zero Trust initiative is ongoing. Management says "attention being paid to Zero Trust initiatives, where NIST has recently selected Tenable as one of 18 technologies, that they're demoing as part of their Zero Trust initiative concepts in demos, in lab." This sounds like company is included in NIST's initiative, but not necessarily that volume will arrive automatically. Also "we think there's tremendous opportunity for continued growth in federal" - not specific wave. Other mentions: Deloitte partnership around smart cities and smart infrastructure where deployed OT solution alongside other capabilities showcasing. That is partnership, not necessarily secured position in future product. Also "NIST selected Tenable" is closest. But question requires all three: (1) already inside someone else's next thing; (2) wave belongs to other party and not yet arrived; (3) position large relative to company and management getting ready. Does management convey that? They mention NIST selection as part of Zero Trust initiative, but no discussion of revenue contribution, preparation, etc.

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.
