Demand pull is outrunning the plan for one still-small offering, and the company is visibly re-pointing itself at it
The model's full reasoning — Q3 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一个可识别的、目前仍较小的业务,且同时满足两个条件:(1) 客户反应超出公司准备;(2) 公司正在采取具体措施扩大投入。 在记录中,管理层提到了几个新产品,如Nurse Residency Pathway、OB Risk program、Knowledge Q等。其中,关于OB Risk program,管理层说:“At the end of third quarter, we’re really excited, because one of our largest customers in our entire customer base, selected our OB Risk program... for their OB Risk program for system-wide deployment in a multiyear agreement”。这显示了实际订单,但并未明确说“超出准备”。关于Nurse Residency,提到获得认证,但未说需求超出预期。关于Knowledge Q,提到是销售领先者,但未说超出准备。 更关键的是,管理层在讨论整体销售时提到“we did see a recovery in the third quarter recovery and sales orders from those same segments”,但这是整体,不是特定小产品。 另外,关于Laerdal产品,管理层提到未来将推出新产品,但那是未来计划。 因此,没有明确证据表明某个小产品客户反应超出准备且公司正在扩大投入。所以答案应为NO。
