Winning is getting easier: management describes the effort needed to land each new piece of business visibly falling, wi
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2023 call → NOWe need to determine if management conveys that winning business has become easier than in the past, with real recent proof, and still in effect. The transcript is about Nanobiotix, a biotech company. They discuss partnerships, clinical trials, and a licensing agreement with Janssen. The question is about "winning business" - i.e., landing customers, orders, contracts. In this context, it could be about partnerships, collaborations, or regulatory approvals. Management discusses the Janssen deal, which is a major partnership. They also mention progress in clinical trials. But does management explicitly say that winning business has become easier than before? They talk about the Janssen deal as a validation, but they don't contrast with past difficulty. They mention "we believe this partnership underscores the therapeutic and market opportunities" and "further validate our platform." But there's no explicit comparison that it's easier now than before. They also mention "we are well underway getting the collaboration started." No mention of reduced effort or faster cycles. They talk about upcoming data and milestones, but not about winning business being easier. The question is about the company's own past experience. There's no statement like "previously we struggled to get partnerships, now they come easily." So likely NO. Check for any mention of "easier" or "less effort" or "faster" in terms of winning contracts. The transcript has no such language. They talk about the Janssen deal as a success, but not as a contrast to past difficulty. They also mention LianBio and MD Anderson collaborations, but again no comparison. So answer NO. Thus, answer is NO.
