Hallo,
I'm looking for suggestions for a neat way to translate this in the context of the following sentence:
"Das SystemXXX 2012 trägt einen klangvollen Namen, der seinen Anspruch programmatisch verkündet:
The SystemXXX 2012"
It's a marketing brochure for an innovative laboratory system.
Any ideas gratefully received.
Thanks in advance!

To 'spell out' leans more toward "verdeutlichen" and misses the connotation of taking charge of the future (i.e. programmatisch/forward-looking). I know, not possible, just marketing hype.
Of course, 'ambitious' is also possible
