Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2017 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes that the company's product/service/capacity/offering is being used more intensively by existing customers than originally planned, with observable current usage behavior. The transcript discusses various segments. Key points: Wet Shave, Sun Care, Feminine Care. Management mentions share gains, innovation, but not necessarily heavier usage per existing customer. They talk about category declines, competitive pressure. They mention "we grew share" but that's about market share, not usage intensity. They mention "we continue to get traction from innovation" but that's about new products. They mention "we launched several key offerings" - that's new offerings. No mention of existing customers using more than planned. They discuss supply chain issues, but not usage. They discuss promotional activities, but not usage intensity. There is no statement about existing customers consuming more per account. The closest might be "we grew share" but that's about winning new customers or taking share, not heavier usage. Also, they mention "we had higher volumes on Men's Systems" but that's due to promotional activities, not necessarily heavier usage per customer. They also mention "we had a very good experience this quarter, both from a promotional, higher promotional in the quarter as well as better price mix" - that's about pricing and promotions, not usage. No indication of existing base running hot. So answer NO.
