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 — Q2 2018 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes current failing to serve demand it already has, with unserved buyers, material, and remedy underway. Transcript: They discuss value-add renovations causing temporary disruption in occupancy. They have backlog of approximately 100 pre-leased units. Renovated units being leased faster than completed. They have pre-leased units before renovations completed. This indicates demand for renovated units exceeds supply (units not yet completed). They have backlog of 100 pre-leased units. Is that unserved demand? Yes, buyers are waiting for units to be completed. Management says "renovated units are currently being leased faster than they are being completed. As of today we have a backlog of approximately 100 pre-leased units." That means they have identified buyers (pre-leased) waiting for units. They are not turning away but making them wait. The shortfall is company's ability to complete renovations. Is it material? 100 units out of portfolio? They say phase 1 and 2 generate $8-9M incremental NOI. The backlog is 100 units. Is that material? They emphasize demand and returns. But is it significant relative to business? 100 units is small relative to 10k+ same-store. However they describe "leased faster than completed" and backlog. But is it material? They don't quantify revenue lost. They say "temporary impact on occupancy" and expect rebound. The question asks if management treats unserved portion as material. They mention backlog of approximately 100 pre-leased units. That's not huge. But they also say "renovated units are currently being leased faster than they are being completed" indicating demand outstrips supply. But is that material? They don't say they are leaving significant business on table. They say value-add projects expected to generate $8-9M incremental NOI. The backlog is part of that. But the unserved demand is temporary due to renovation schedule. They are already acting: renovations underway, phase 2 started. So remedy underway. Need decide if this qualifies. The essence: company too small for its own order book. Here, they have pre-leased units before completion, so they have orders waiting. They are expanding supply by renovating. But is the shortfall material? 100 units pre-leased. That's not huge. But they say "leased faster than completed" - implies ongoing.

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.
