Already inside the gate: the company is specified into someone else's next wave, and the wave has not yet shipped
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2021 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes already been chosen/specified/qualified/designed into another organization's future product/program/platform/build-out, wave not yet arrived, position large relative, preparing. Transcript: Thomas mentions Porsche partnership? "After supplying [Indiscernible], our first blue-chip and strategic partner with more than 400 of our trucks boxes, we began marketing..." Porsche? They had contract with Porsche accounted for €40m in 2020 and completion of that order provided €70m in 2021? Actually "Our contract with Porsche account for around €40 million in 2020 and completion of that order provided €70 million in 2021." Wait revenue 2021 €33m. Hmm. Question asks: Does management describe that company has ALREADY BEEN CHOSEN, SPECIFIED, QUALIFIED, DESIGNED IN, OR OTHERWISE LOCKED INTO POSITION INSIDE ANOTHER ORGANIZATION'S FUTURE PRODUCT, PROGRAM, PLATFORM, BUILD-OUT, OR STANDARD OPERATING PLAN — such that when that outside party's own next wave of activity arrives, this company's volume arrives with it automatically — AND does management convey that this position is secured today while the wave itself has not yet shipped, launched, ramped, or begun at scale? Need identify if any such situation. Transcript mentions ChargePost first contract signed with strategic customer who does not wish to be named. Initial order about 50 units supplied in Europe as early as 2022, customer has plans to purchase more than 10,000 units over next few years. This is a secured position? They have contract signed for 50 units, customer plans >10,000. Is that "already been chosen, specified, qualified, designed in"? They have first contract signed. The wave: customer plans to purchase more than 10,000 units over next few years, but initial order 50 units in 2022. So position secured? They have contract for 50 units, and customer has plans for more. But is that "inside someone else's next thing"? The customer is strategic, plans to purchase >10,000 units. Management says "We already have a first contract signed for the ChargePost with a strategic customer who does not wish to be named at this time. The initial order is about 50 Units and it will be supplied in Europe as early as 2022, so already this year.

CUBI · Q3 2018 → YESThe question is about whether management describes that the company has already been chosen or locked into another organization's future product/program, such that volume will come automatically when ...NO The transcript describes a white-label partnership with T-Mobile where BankMobile provides services under T-Mobile's brand, with deposits expected to start in the next year after the launch. However, this does not meet the criteria for a secured position inside T-Mobile's next product or program. The language focuses on a partnership relationship that is still being launched, rather than a design win or qualification already embedded in T-Mobile's future offering. Management refers to it as an "expected white label partnership" and "working on" the launch, indicating it is not yet locked in as part of T-Mobile's committed plan.
EMKR · Q4 2023 → YESThe question is about whether management describes that the company has already been chosen or locked into another organization's future product/program, such that volume will come automatically when ...NO The transcript describes an agreement with Kratos for Inertial Navigation Systems to be included in the XQ58 Valkyrie drone, with the Air Force planning to acquire at least 1,000 units. However, this is framed as an announcement of a new agreement rather than a secured, locked-in position already designed 100% into the platform with volume guaranteed.
