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 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript describes a situation where 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 company is Korn Ferry, a consultancy. They discuss various segments: digital, consulting, RPO, professional search, executive search. Key points: They mention strong demand, new business highs, but also mention that they are investing in capacity. For example, in digital, they are adding sales professionals. In professional search, they are expanding. But is there a specific statement that existing customers are asking for more than they can supply? The transcript talks about demand being strong, but not necessarily that they are turning away business or that they can't meet demand. They mention "we're going to continue to invest" but not that they are constrained. They mention "we have to add more commercial capability in our digital business" and "we're still continuing to do that" for hiring. But that's about growth, not about a shortfall. They also mention "we're going to continue to make investments around pro search in the interim" but again, that's about growth. The question asks specifically: "BUYERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT FROM THE COMPANY AND SEEN THE RESULT ARE NOW ASKING FOR MORE THAN THE COMPANY CAN CURRENTLY SUPPLY THEM" - is that described? I don't see any explicit statement that existing customers are asking for more than the company can deliver. They talk about new business wins, but not about being unable to fulfill orders. They talk about "new business" and "backlog" but not about capacity constraints. They mention "we have a backlog of revenue under contract" but that's normal. They don't say they are turning away customers. They mention "we're going to continue to invest" but that's typical. There is no mention of customers being told to wait, or partial fulfillment, or that they can't meet demand. Thus, the answer is 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.
