Esperando para que cuaje con el boca oreja
 
:thinking:El boca oreja? ---sound wrong to me. Anyway, does this mean hoping
for success by word of mouth? Sometimes Spanish really confounds me.

Same here, Poli, same here, but your understanding is correct.

See here,

(We used to say "la comunicación oral... el boca en boca...")

Also on "cuajar"
Here are Oxford examples,
2 a (afianzarse): el ecologismo ha cuajado como una alternativa seria ecology has come to be accepted as
a serious alternative; si cuajan las reformas previstas if the proposed reforms come about o come
into being; este cuento no termina de cuajar this story never really comes together; el proyecto no
cuajó the plan did not come to anything o come off; una moda que no cuajó en este país a fashion
which didn’t really catch on o take off in this country; no intentes convencerme, que no cuaja (fam)
don’t try and convince me, it won’t work o (colloq) it won’t wash
b « persona » to fit in; no cuaja en ese grupo she doesn’t fit in with that group
