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 answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need evaluate criteria. We need find if management describes something company already owns/operates for existing business turned out useful for second larger purpose, and begun turning second use into real business without building new company. Look for examples: Maybe "sales force" implementation? No that's new system. "Dorothy" mortgage platform? They launched online mortgage tool. That's new capability? But it's for existing mortgage business. Not second larger purpose. Maybe land positions? They have land holdings, repositioning communities for AV acquisition? Not. Maybe "data" from customer surveys? They gathered feedback, using to enhance customer experience. Not larger second use. Maybe "Taylor Morrison Home Funding" mortgage business? Mortgage capture rate 70%. It's existing business. Not second use. Maybe "AV Homes" acquisition? They are acquiring, not already owns. No. Maybe "sales force" (CRM system) implementation completed, operational dividends. No second use. Maybe "land bank" with 40,000 lots, 5 years supply. They might leverage land positions for AV? No. Maybe "financial services" with mortgage platform? No. Could be "Dorothy" online mortgage tool: launched recently; it's a technology; but it's for existing mortgage business, not second larger purpose. Maybe "Taylor Morrison" has "portfolio" with active adult, first-time buyers, etc. No. Need identify if any mention of existing capability used for second larger purpose. The transcript: They discuss "implementing sales force" (CRM) - system already operating, but no second use. They discuss "customer experience" - survey data. They discuss AV acquisition (not existing). They discuss "mortgage platform Dorothy" - online mortgage tool. That's new tool for mortgage business. Not second use. Maybe "land positions in Florida" controlled lots. No. Maybe "AV's S-4" etc. The question asks "SOMETHING THE COMPANY ALREADY OWNS AND ALREADY OPERATES FOR ITS EXISTING BUSINESS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE USEFUL FOR A SECOND, MUCH LARGER PURPOSE — and that the company has recently BEGUN turning that second use into real business, without having had to build a new company to do it?" Could be "Taylor Morrison Home Funding" (TMHF) mortgage business. It exists to serve customers, capture rate 70%, launched Dorothy. But not second use.
