Gary, I understand where you're coming from. The important point about the machine installation having been completed is that its now able to produce product. If I were a TTP and I was signing a deal to move my blockbuster product to a new technology like tabwrap, I would go through all the development stage right up to the very end, but would stop short of signing until I had product in my hand off of the fully certified, fully installed machine in its cgmp facility. This has now happened, and effectively was the last remaining barrier to a TTP from signing a deal. Once RT can take a production Tabwrapped tablet out of the machine, and hand it to the TTP rep, he's then got everything he needs to sign on the dotted line or walk away. There's nothing further that RT can do for him.
RT has now removed that barrier, and we know that several blockbuster products have already successfully passed all the stability trials. It's now crunch time for the TTP reps to make that final decision. What's the chance of all 4 of the TTPs mentioned in the FAQ walking away?...IMO...as close to zero as you can get. At least one should sign and we know what that'll do to the SP. The institutions know that as well. I cannot see this taking much longer now that all the technical barriers have been removed. IMHO...within a month.
