From candidate to default: the company has just been placed inside buyers' own purchasing systems
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2024 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes a recent shift to being an approved/specified/listed/etc. choice inside buyers' systems, such that future business can arrive without a discrete selling event, and that this is new and not yet reflected in results. Scan the transcript. Key points: Zvi mentions "United Airlines has chosen Freightos as their main technology partner to build a state-of-the-art air cargo web portal." This is a partnership where Freightos builds United's portal. That means United's customers booking through United's website will use Freightos technology. That could be seen as being inserted into the pathway. But is it a "approved, specified, listed" status? It's more of a technology partnership. Also, they mention "expanding collaboration with United Airlines" and "Delta Cargo" and "Singapore Airlines" etc. These are carrier additions, not necessarily buyer-side system insertions. The question asks about buyers' purchasing systems. The buyers are freight forwarders. The company is a marketplace. The "approved" status would be if freight forwarders have Freightos as a preferred/approved platform in their procurement. But the transcript doesn't mention that. It mentions adding new carriers, which is supply-side. It mentions "unique buyer users increasing" but that's just more users. The United deal: "United Airlines has chosen Freightos as their main technology partner to build a state-of-the-art air cargo web portal." That means Freightos provides the technology for United's own portal. That could be seen as being inserted into the pathway for United's customers. But is that a "buyer-side system"? The buyers are the freight forwarders who book on United's portal. They would be using Freightos technology without a separate selling event? Possibly. But management doesn't explicitly say that this means future business will arrive without a discrete selling event. They say "United customers have a choice in how to access and book United Cargo's available capacity directly through its website or through our WebCargo platform." So it's an additional channel. It's not necessarily a default or approved status. Also, the question asks if management conveys that this access status is new enough that most of the volume it will unlock is still ahead. The transcript doesn't say that.

PRIM · Q2 2018 → YESThe question is about whether management describes that the company has recently crossed from being a candidate that buyers must be persuaded to consider into being an approved, specified, listed, qua...YES The transcript shows management describing exactly this shift for the newly acquired T&D segment: after the Willbros acquisition (closed June 1, 2018), the T&D Group gained access to major utilities that had been hesitant due to prior financial concerns. With Primoris as parent, they signed new awards from the 3 largest electrical utilities (one announced MSA, two not yet announced), allowing work to flow under existing relationships without repeated persuasion. Management explicitly ties this to the recent acquisition and notes the MSA backlog now at $1.1 billion (first time exceeding $1 billion), with one-year estimated MSA revenue at $1.1 billion and continued growth expected.
AGIO · Q3 2018 → YESThe question is about whether management describes that the company has recently crossed from being a candidate that buyers must be persuaded to consider into being an approved, specified, listed, qua...YES The transcript shows management describing exactly this transition for TIBSOVO. Steve Hoerter states that the company launched in July 2018 and is now receiving reimbursement with “no payer-related coverage issues,” with the payer mix (60% Medicare, 35% commercial) reflecting routine placement in those systems. He further notes that initial prescriptions are being written by over 100 unique prescribers and that awareness is already above 90%, confirming the product has moved from candidate status into the reimbursement and purchasing pathways. Because the launch is only a few months old at the time of the call, the $4.
AZEK · Q2 2024 → YESThe question is about whether management describes that the company has recently crossed from being a candidate that buyers must be persuaded to consider into being an approved, specified, listed, etc...YES The transcript shows management describing recent and incremental shelf-space gains in both pro and retail channels as a new development that will support growth in 2025, with investments planned for Q4 to enable these gains. This is framed as moving beyond prior years' steady execution into fresh wins that create a tailwind for future 2025 volume, where the company is now positioned to benefit from expanded availability in buyer systems (catalogs, dealer networks, and retail displays) without needing to re-persuade for each order.
