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 — Q3 2022 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need identify if management describes already chosen/specified/qualified/designed into another org's future product/program/platform, wave not yet arrived, position large relative, preparing. Transcript mentions: "In the home medical market, the injection care management system that we market and distribute under an exclusive agreement recently became Medicare and Medicaid eligible for certain applications, which is expected to drive increased adoption. We have also secured recent placements with specialty pharmacies." This sounds like company has secured position? "injection care management system" under exclusive agreement, became Medicare/Medicaid eligible, expected to drive increased adoption. Is that "already been chosen, specified, qualified, designed in" inside another organization's future program? Medicare/Medicaid eligibility is a qualification, but not necessarily "chosen" by a specific counterparty's next product. It is a regulatory approval. Wave not yet arrived? "expected to drive increased adoption" suggests future. But is it large relative? Not described as large. Also "secured recent placements with specialty pharmacies" - placements are secured, but not necessarily a wave. Need assess. Other mentions: "We're also creating a new category with a countertop Clorox steam sanitizer... We look forward to introducing the first electric countertop water filtration products under the Brita brand in early 2023." These are licensing deals? They have brand licenses, but not "inside someone else's next thing" - they are using brands. Not a counterparty's next product. "Global commercial sales increased 36%... new products gaining traction" - ordinary selling. "Bartesian cocktail machine" - they distribute? Not a secured position in another's future. 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 find any such.

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.
