Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2016 call → NOWe need to answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: does management describe that buyers who have already bought from the company and seen the result are now asking for more than the company can currently supply them, and is management working to enlarge the company in response? We need to find evidence in the transcript. Look for statements about existing customers, repeat orders, demand exceeding supply, and expansion efforts. Scan the transcript. John Stroup mentions various segments. For Broadcast, he mentions strong orders, book-to-bill 1.05, significant multimillion dollar order with a major network for IP infrastructure. But does that indicate existing customers asking for more than supply? Not necessarily. For Enterprise, he mentions strong end-market demand, but not specifically that existing customers are asking for more than supply. For Industrial, he mentions discrete manufacturing up 7%, but again not about exceeding supply. For Network Security, he mentions progress but not about exceeding supply. The question is very specific: "buyers who have already bought from the company and seen the result are now asking for more than the company can currently supply them" and "management currently working to enlarge the company in response." Look for phrases like "backlog", "capacity", "cannot meet demand", "we are expanding", etc. In the transcript, there is no explicit statement about existing customers asking for more than the company can supply. There is mention of strong demand, but not that it exceeds supply. There is no mention of capacity constraints or expansion to meet demand. The company talks about productivity improvements, but not about enlarging capacity to meet excess demand from existing customers. The question also requires that the pressure comes from proven, repeat counterparties. The transcript does not clearly indicate that. It mentions orders, but not that they are from repeat customers who have seen results and are asking for more than supply. Thus, the answer is NO. We must answer only YES or NO.

Existing customers who previously bought fixed-tilt racking (proven repeat counterparties) have switched to the new 1P TerraTrak tracker technology, creating rapid uptake that exceeds current supply capability.
