New business is being written on visibly better terms than the company's own recent norm, and the mix shift has just beg
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2017 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question asks: Does management indicate that economic terms of newest business (prices, rates, fees, contract sizes, durations, profitability) have stepped up meaningfully above company's own recent norm, and improvement only begun to flow into reported results because most reported business still older terms? Need use only transcript. Need identify if management says new business terms improved vs own recent past, and reported results still reflect old terms. Let's parse transcript. Company Instructure. Q4 2017. Products Canvas (education) and Bridge (corporate). They discuss revenue growth, deals. Need look for pricing/terms improvements. Management mentions Bridge deal sizes? Josh: "Bridge pricing. We have discussed in the past about how we are currently discounted to our competitors. As time goes on, that discount will diminish. The deal sizes, they are five figures we have an occasional 6-figure deal. The trend is the deal sizes are getting larger, as we expect them to, as we continue to move upmarket. Comparing those to Canvas deal sizes... There is really no comparison at this stage with Canvas versus Bridge on the deal sizes. But our expectation if the trends continued to go in the direction they are going is that the deal sizes will continue to get larger as we move upstream. And in addition to that, they will grow larger, because we will be selling more modules. Every 12 to 18 months, we are adding modules to Bridge. And as we do them, we have got a larger basket to be able to pile on to these larger enterprises that are interested in a broader solution. So, lots of different drivers are pushing the deal sizes to increase. So, that's what we are seeing and that's our strategy." This indicates deal sizes are getting larger, trend. But is that "meaningfully above company's own recent norm"? He says trend is deal sizes getting larger, expectation continue. But also "we are currently discounted to competitors. As time goes on, that discount will diminish." That's future. Deal sizes getting larger is current? "The trend is the deal sizes are getting larger" - actual. But is it meaningful? Also "we have got a larger basket" due to modules. But question asks economic terms of newest business - prices, rates, fees, contract sizes, durations, profitability.

CRL · Q2 2022 → YESThe question is about whether management indicates that the economic terms of the company's newest business have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm, and that this improvement ...YES Management's comments on Safety Assessment pricing and backlog directly address both required elements: they describe current bookings and backlog at "escalating prices" and "meaningful price increases" that are already achieved on real transactions (not targets or future expectations), while noting that the reported Q2 results are still dominated by older 2022 terms and that the stronger pricing is accelerating into H2 and 2023 bookings.
