Take away: Initiatlly there was no competition, last presentation four main one including Isra. Isra Vision appears the closest to ACU but there might be others...

Next Investor presentation/pitch hopefully more than one slide will be provided on competition and more details on: i) Plant Wider Process/ Yield Performance Monitoring, ii) Failure Mode Analysis and Troubleshooting and iii) Event Recording and Reporting for collaboarative action. 

At one evaluation per year to date, they will need to convince the market that they have more functionalities than the competion AND sign more evaluation aggreements (this year). One year is a long time in software development/implementation. That process needs to be streamlined after this evaluation otherwise it will take a long time for them to really penetrate the market.

Also, they need to get those DM sales going this year again because if it takes another 6 months before Insight Evaluation completion, how will revenues materialize in the mean time?
