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 — Q2 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes something already owned and operated that has a second, larger use and has begun converting it. Search transcript for such a situation. Key phrases: "existing capability", "second use", "already converting". Examples: PowerPlan? No, that's acquired. Gatan? Divesting. Perhaps TransCore's tolling technology used for something else? Or DAT freight matching? Or Neptune's technology? Or CBORD? Or maybe the "customer service centers" winning more business? Or ConstructConnect network? Or the "asset-light business model" with negative working capital? Not a second use. Look for "capability" "network" "technology" "platform" that was built for one purpose and now used for larger. Maybe "TransCore" tolling projects? They mention cashless tolling project for New York, and competitive advantage. But second use? No. What about "data" or "software" used internally? Not clear. Consider "deferred revenue" growth? Not second use. Maybe "freight matching business" with DAT? They have significant adds in net subscribers due to spot market. That's more of the same. Could be "PowerPlan" acquisition, but that's new. Check slide 11: "Our freight matching business also had phenomenal results. We had significant adds in net subscribers. And the market, the spot market is exceptional right now and we're certainly benefiting from that and expecting to have that trend continue." Not second use. Maybe "CBORD" growing in food and nutrition management software on healthcare campus-type environments. That's existing business. "customer service centers" winning more business - that's a service. What about "toll and traffic" growth? No. Maybe "Neptune" with "customer-focused innovation" - they are winning by convincing customers to keep installed base and move to collective technology. That's a second use? No, it's same product. Perhaps "Industrial Technology" - Cornell Pump gaining share with rental companies. That's market expansion but same purpose. I need to find a specific example where management says: we have this thing, we use it for X, but we discovered it can be used for Y, and Y is much bigger, and we've started getting revenue from Y but it's small.
