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 2015 call → NOWe need answer only YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Need determine if management describes company already chosen/specified/qualified/locked into another organization's future product/program/platform/build-out/standard operating plan, such that when outside party's own next wave arrives, company volume arrives automatically, and position secured today while wave not yet shipped/launched/ramped/at scale. We need parse transcript. Company Workiva provides Wdesk platform for SEC filings, SOX, GRC etc. Management discusses expansion into markets, customers using Wdesk. But question asks about being inside another organization's future product/program. Is there any mention of being selected/qualified as component in another company's product? No. They sell software to customers. They mention "Deloitte listed us at its 2015 Technology Fast 500" and "Fortune Magazine ranked" - not relevant. They mention "Gartner once again named Wdesk the Best-of-Breed vendor" - not a secured position inside another's next thing. They mention "we begin marketing Wdesk to broad audit management market" - not selected. They mention "we raised enough capital at IPO" etc. No evidence of design win, qualification, specified into another party's future product. They are a SaaS vendor selling to customers; ordinary vendor selling. They have customers using Wdesk for various use cases, but that's not "inside someone else's next thing" in the sense of being chosen as component for counterparty's product. They are expanding markets, but no specific large counterparty's committed program where Workiva is already selected and wave ahead. They mention "we expect non-SEC use cases will contribute more than 50% of subscription bookings" - that's internal forecast, not a secured position. 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.
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.
