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 2017 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript describes a situation where existing customers (proven, repeat counterparties) are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. Let's analyze the transcript. The question is about whether management describes that buyers who have already bought from the company and seen the result are now asking for more than the company can currently supply. That is, demand from proven customers exceeds current capacity, and the company is working to expand. We need to look for evidence in the transcript. The transcript is from EPAM Systems, a software engineering and digital services company. They discuss growth, hiring, capacity, etc. Key points from the transcript: - They talk about strong demand, hiring, expanding delivery centers, etc. - They mention "we continue to hire for the demand within our business." (Jason Peterson) - They talk about utilization being high (78.8%) and that they expect it to trend down over time because they are hiring more. - They mention "we continue to see strong demand and so we clearly are hiring for that demand." (Jason Peterson) - They talk about expanding geographic footprint, hiring more people, etc. But is there a specific statement that existing customers are asking for more than the company can supply? The transcript mentions growth from existing customers, but also from new customers. For example, they say "year over year growth within our top 20 accounts was more than 18%, while growth outside of the top 20 accounts was 34%." That indicates growth from both existing and new customers. They also mention "we are currently working with European multinational corporation... to digitize aspects of their core business" and "another example is enterprise digital transformation initiative we just started with Global Health Services Company" - these are new engagements, not necessarily existing customers asking for more. The question specifically 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?" That is, existing customers are demanding more than the company can deliver, and the company is expanding to meet that demand.

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.
