Free option on their own operations: management describes a real capability it already owns that could serve a second, m
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2017 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes something already owned and operated for existing business useful for second much larger purpose, and recently begun turning that second use into real business without building new company. Look for situation: existing working capability, second use materially bigger, already converting with numbers barely show. Candidate: Mitek has mobile check deposit technology? Or identity verification? Let's parse. Company has mobile deposit product used by banks. Identity verification platform also existing? They have been growing identity business. But question asks "something the company already owns and already operates for its existing business has turned out to be useful for a second, much larger purpose" - Perhaps their mobile capture technology originally for mobile check deposit, now used for identity verification? Actually Mitek's core capability is image capture and verification. They developed mobile deposit for banks. Then used same technology for identity verification? But identity verification is a separate product and already a significant business (29% of revenue, 54% growth). Is that second use? Let's see transcript. Jim: "Our growing and profitable recurring business in mobile deposit continues to be a solid springboard from which to capture the growth in the global digital identity verification market." That sounds like existing mobile deposit business (capability/customer relationships) enables identity verification. But identity verification is not necessarily "second use" of same capability? They use photo capture and ID verification. He says "Mitek does it with a photo capture and rapid verification of your ID, plus a selfie facial comparison..." That's identity verification product. It's an existing business already generating revenue $7.7M SaaS. Is it "recently begun turning that second use into real business"? Yes they have identity revenue growing 54%, but it's already substantial. The question asks: "has turned out to be useful for a second, much larger purpose" and "company has recently BEGUN turning that second use into real business" and "numbers barely show it" - But identity revenue is 29% of revenue and growing, not barely showing? However they say "Our identity platform is an enabler for e-commerce." They made progress.
