Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2022 call → NOThe question asks whether management describes that the company's product/service/capacity is being used more intensively by existing customers than originally planned, with this heavier usage observable in the current business. Looking at the transcript, I need to find evidence of existing customers using products more intensively than expected. Key areas to examine: 1. Fixed annuity surrenders - higher surrenders due to interest rates, but this is about customers leaving, not using more 2. Fixed annuity sales - strong sales, but this is new business 3. Any mention of existing customers consuming more? Let me scan through the transcript for relevant commentary: - Kevin mentions fixed annuity sales of $5.7 billion, up 89% year-over-year - this is new business growth - Fixed index annuity $6.3 billion full year - new business - Group retirement premiums - new business - The surrenders are higher but lower than expectations - this is about customers leaving, not using more The question is specifically about EXISTING customers using the product MORE INTENSIVELY than originally planned. Looking at the transcript, I don't see management describing a phenomenon where existing customers are consuming, transacting, or using the product at rates above what was anticipated. The growth described is primarily from new business/sales, not from existing customers using more. The surrender activity is about customers leaving (which is the opposite of using more), and even that is described as lower than expected. There's no mention of: - Existing accounts transacting more frequently - Customers exhausting capacity sooner than expected - Usage per existing account growing faster than account count - Existing customers needing more per customer The growth is described as new business wins, new deposits, new sales - not intensification of existing relationships. Therefore, the answer is NO.
