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 to determine if the transcript describes a situation where an existing capability is being used for a second, larger purpose, and the company has begun converting that into business, with numbers barely showing it. Let's analyze the transcript. The key themes: Connected Enterprise, investments, acquisitions, etc. But is there a specific instance where something already owned and operated for existing business is now being used for a second, much larger purpose, and they've started collecting on it? Look for phrases like "we have an installed base", "we are leveraging", "we have discovered", "we are now using X for Y". The transcript mentions: "We continue to leverage strategic partnerships, make targeted technology investments and gain access to emerging technologies to complement our own research and development activities." That's generic. Blake Moret talks about the Connected Enterprise: "The opportunities for integrating control and information are greater than ever, and the value of the Connected Enterprise is being demonstrated across all of our verticals and around the world. I believe we are best positioned to deliver this value to our customers, because we are already on the plant floor, with a large installed base we have differentiated technology and domain expertise, and we have a long history of successful partnerships." That's about their existing position. But is there a second use? They are using their installed base and technology to deliver Connected Enterprise solutions. But is that a second use? Their original business is industrial automation. The Connected Enterprise is an extension of that, not necessarily a different application. They are selling more of the same? Actually, they are selling new services and information solutions. But is that a materially bigger second use? They talk about "new value from the Connected Enterprise" and "revenue streams related to new value from the Connected Enterprise." They mention "pilots are progressing well and expanding in all industries." They say "we had good growth in revenue streams related to new value from the Connected Enterprise." But is that a second use of an existing capability? They already have the automation products, the installed base, the domain expertise. They are now using that to provide information solutions and connected services. That could be a second use.
