Sequential re-rating: management describes the same offering landing bigger the second and third time around
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2021 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes successive engagements of the same kind coming in at progressively larger size. The question asks about deals, orders, contracts, projects, customers, sites, or programs. We need to see if management conveys that the individual size of what it lands now is bigger than before for the same offering. Looking at the transcript, management discusses various things: new theater pickups, new builds, alternative programming, cryptocurrency, etc. But we need to see if there is a pattern of escalation in unit size. Key points: Adam Aron mentions "we actually now have 6 new theatre pickups under lease or signed letter of intent. Note two, 3 of those are in Los Angeles, 2 are in Chicago, 1 is in Atlanta. And we also are currently in advanced negotiations to add 4 more, bringing the possible pickups to 10." This is about number of theaters, not necessarily size of each deal. It's about more theaters, not larger individual deals. He also mentions new build theaters opening. But that's not about escalating size of engagements. He talks about alternative programming: UFC, concert movies, etc. But no mention of larger deals. He talks about accepting Bitcoin, Apple Pay, etc. Not about deal size. He talks about Warner Brothers agreement with 45-day exclusive window. That's a contract but not about size escalation. He talks about stock ownership policy, not relevant. He mentions that they are in active dialogue with every major studio on exclusive theatrical windows. Not about size. The question specifically asks: "does management convey that the deals, orders, contracts, projects, customers, sites, or programs it is landing NOW are individually bigger, broader, or longer than the ones it was landing for the same offering not long ago?" We need to find any statement that indicates a comparison of size of individual engagements over time. For example, if they said "our new theater leases are for larger theaters than before" or "our new contracts are for longer terms" etc. Looking at the transcript, there is no such statement. The closest is about new theater pickups, but that's about number of theaters, not size of each. Also, they mention that they are adding theaters from ArcLight locations, but no comparison of size. They mention that they are opening new build theaters, but again no comparison.

AKYA · Q2 2023 → YESThe question is: Does management describe that the company's SUCCESSIVE ENGAGEMENTS OF THE SAME KIND ARE COMING IN AT PROGRESSIVELY LARGER SIZE? YES The transcript shows management describing a clear pattern of escalating project sizes in the translational/clinical space. Brian notes a migration from exploratory studies (reasonable size) to larger retrospective studies and even larger retrospective-prospective ongoing clinical studies, with projects moving "further and further downstream.
ASAN · Q2 2022 → YESThe question is: Does management describe that the company's SUCCESSIVE ENGAGEMENTS OF THE SAME KIND ARE COMING IN AT PROGRESSIVELY LARGER SIZE?
