Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes existing customers using the product more intensively than originally planned, as an observable current pattern. The transcript mentions recurring dollar retention rate of 103%, driven by strong up-sell activity. Up-sell could be due to heavier usage, but it's not explicitly about usage intensity. They mention "customers exhausting, outgrowing, or burning through what they bought sooner than expected" - but no such language. They talk about up-sell bookings at renewal, but that's typical growth. They also mention "commodity pricing reset" completed. No mention of usage-based consumption exceeding expectations. The only mention of "overages" is in revenue accounting, not about usage intensity. They mention "overages" as revenue from customers exceeding contracted usage, but that's a standard thing. However, the question asks if management describes that the product is being used more intensively than originally sized. The transcript does not explicitly state that. The retention rate of 103% is due to up-sells, but up-sells could be for additional features or seats, not necessarily heavier usage. No mention of "usage per customer" growing faster than account count. They mention ARPU up 11% year-over-year, but that could be from new customers or price increases. No explicit statement about existing customers consuming more than planned. Thus answer NO.
