First tranche delivered, larger tranches en route: the same engine that just produced has visibly more already scheduled
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2017 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes one identifiable engine of new business with both: (1) a first tranche actually landed in the just-reported period (Q3 FY2017), and (2) larger tranches already in motion behind it, with the remainder larger than what's been delivered. Look for specific engines: e.g., Hydro Connect launch, DTC site, Tmall, Bulldog acquisition, Sun Care innovation, etc. Check Hydro Connect: Launched in Q3 in U.S. DTC, China Tmall, Italy, Central Europe. But is there a larger tranche already in motion? Management says "we launched Hydro Connect into retail channels in Italy and several markets in Central Europe." That's a launch, but no mention of further committed expansion. Also, they say "we'll certainly evaluate that" for U.S. broader distribution, which is not committed. Check Bulldog acquisition: It's an acquisition, but is it an engine? They mention it contributed $4 million benefit. But is there a larger tranche? They say "we rapidly increase the number of store launches in both U.S. and international." That suggests ongoing expansion, but is it already in motion? They say "continues to perform well" and "rapidly increase" - that implies ongoing rollout. But is the first tranche landed? The acquisition closed earlier, and they are recognizing sales. But is the majority still ahead? They don't quantify. Also, it's an acquisition, not a new engine per se. Check Sun Care innovation: They have top new items, but that's routine product launches. Check Wet Shave: They mention share gains, but no specific engine. Check DTC site: Launched, but no mention of larger tranches. Check Tmall: Launched, but no mention of larger tranches. Check Feminine Care: No. Check Europe supply chain issues: That's a problem, not an engine. Check ZBS: That's cost savings, not new business. Check e-commerce: They mention investments, but no specific engine. The question asks for ONE identifiable engine with both conditions. The closest might be Hydro Connect, but management does not explicitly say that larger tranches are already in motion. They say "we launched" and "we'll certainly evaluate" for U.S. That's not committed. Also, they don't say the remainder is larger than what's been delivered. Bulldog: They say "we rapidly increase the number of store launches" - that suggests ongoing expansion, but is it already committed? They don't give specifics.
