Reporting the counterparty's growth as its own: management explains the company's coming year by narrating what its cust
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2017 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management explains business going forward by narrating what counterparties are doing and scaling. Need check criteria.
