Customers coming back on their own: unsolicited repeat business has become the engine
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2017 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录,判断管理层是否描述了现有客户自愿重复购买的行为,且这种行为是当前业务中真实且增长的特征。 在记录中,管理层提到了“收入保留率持续高于100%”(Steve Kaminsky提到“strong revenue retention, which continues to be greater than 100%”),这暗示了现有客户的续约或重复购买。但这是否是“自愿”的?在SaaS订阅模式下,续约可能是自动的,但管理层强调保留率高于100%,意味着客户不仅续约,还增加了支出或提前续约。然而,记录中并没有明确描述客户“主动回来”的行为,而是更多强调新客户获取、新市场(国际)、新产品(Bridge, Practice)等。管理层提到“early starts”和“nonrecurring revenue”作为超预期因素,但未具体说明重复购买。 此外,记录中关于Bridge的客户赢单(如Paychex, Scripps等)都是新客户。没有提到现有客户自愿追加购买或续约的案例。管理层提到“revenue retention”但未展开描述行为。 因此,根据要求,如果重复行为是机械的(如订阅自动续约)且没有主动选择,则不算。这里没有明确证据表明客户是“自愿”回来,且管理层未将其作为当前业务增长的主要驱动力。所以答案应为NO。

TJX · Q2 2021 → YESThe question is: Does management describe that the company's business is now being driven meaningfully by customers RETURNING TO BUY AGAIN WITHOUT BEING RE-SOLD — existing customers coming back on the...YES The transcript shows management describing existing customers returning and shopping more frequently as a real, observable driver of current results (loyal customers returning and shopping more often, plus rising average ticket and traffic), while treating it as evidence of market-share capture rather than a hope or future initiative. This meets the criteria for a meaningful, 2021-specific repeat behavior. The emphasis on new shoppers and competitor closures is present but does not override the explicit return statement. No contractual lock-in or churn discussion appears. Therefore the answer is YES.
CDXC · Q4 2021 → YESThe question is about whether management describes the business being driven by customers returning to buy again without being re-sold, like existing customers reordering on their own. YES The transcript shows management describing voluntary repeat behavior as a real and strengthening feature of the business. Rob Fried explicitly states: “What we still continue to have is excellent retention. The people who buy Tru Niagen and take Tru Niagen keep taking and buying Tru Niagen. The retention numbers continue to look extremely solid … Amazon has indicated to us that they think we are the — have the highest retention of any dietary supplement that they sell.

Nate Davis states: "the number of families that we registered for another year in a program increased year-over-year. In fact, it was our highest rate of reregistering students in more than seven years of this internal measure." James Rhyu confirms: "we picked up a couple of a few hundred basis points improvement in rereg.
