Sold out of itself: management is turning demand away today because the company cannot supply it, and the fix is already
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2015 call → NOWe need answer based on transcript. Need determine if management describes currently failing to serve demand it already has, with unserved demand material and already acting to close gap. Let's inspect transcript. Company is real estate office/studio properties. Demand for office/studio space? They discuss leasing activity, pre-leasing, space availability. Do they say they are turning away buyers or cannot supply demand? They mention "While we have interest from several large companies for that space where we will unlike, we break ground until this project is substantially pre released." That implies they have interest for future development but not breaking ground until preleased. Not unserved now? Also "we're in entitlements for additional 300,000 square feet... While we have interest from several large companies for that space where we will unlike, we break ground until this project is substantially pre released." That means they are not building yet, waiting for prelease, so not serving future demand? But demand is interest, not actual buyers being turned away. They also say at 12655 Jefferson redevelopment "we're in leases for the balance of that space and expect this project to be 100% pre-leased shortly with delivery anticipated this summer." That's leasing space under construction. Not failing. They mention "We also pre-leased 18,000... We're in leases for the balance of that space and expect this project to be 100% pre-leased shortly" So they have leases for balance? Actually "in leases" means negotiations? Not unserved. They mention "Our 90,000 square foot Creative Office Building adjacent to ICON on the Sunset Bronson plot which we started construction on earlier this month. We're also in entitlements for an additional 300,000 square feet ... While we have interest from several large companies for that space where we will unlike, we break ground until this project is substantially pre released." So they have interest but not actual lease? They wait for substantial prelease before breaking ground. That is not a current shortfall; they are choosing not to supply speculative space. Not failing to serve demand; they could build if preleased. They mention "Demand for office and studio space at Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson and reach an all-time high in the fourth quarter. And level of activity it's continuing into 2016.

OGI · Q3 2022 → YESThe question is: Does management describe that the company is CURRENTLY FAILING TO SERVE DEMAND IT ALREADY HAS — real buyers being turned away, etc., because they can't supply, AND already spending or...YES The transcript shows management describing a current situation where demand is outstripping supply ("we have been really tight on our supply. Our demand was outstripping our supply"), leading to turning away or limiting sales to certain provinces ("we were really stealing from 1 pocket to the other as we're trying to balance the demand to what available capacity we had" and limiting SHRED distribution). This is material, as it affects their ability to serve existing customers fully.
CRL · Q2 2022 → YESThe question is whether management describes the company currently failing to serve demand it already has, and already spending or committing to remove that limit. YES The transcript shows clients securing space in take-or-pay arrangements because of tight capacity, indicating unserved demand from existing buyers. Management notes capacity is well utilized and they are hiring staff to accommodate higher forecasted demand, confirming they are already acting to close the gap. This situation is material given the backlog growth and emphasis on availability over price.
BRBR · Q4 2023 → YESThe question is whether management describes the company currently failing to serve demand it already has, and already spending or committing to remove that limit. NO The transcript shows ongoing capacity constraints and tight supply dynamics, with management noting they are holding back on marketing/promotions due to limited supply and that they lost customers in prior years due to capacity.
