Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2023 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 mentions growth in AUM, fee-earning AUM, etc. But the question is about intensity of usage within existing relationships. The transcript talks about growth from existing clients (80% of gross inflows into customized separate accounts came from existing client base). That is re-ups, but is that "heavier usage"? It's more like they are adding more capital, which is growth but not necessarily "running hot" in terms of usage intensity. The question specifically asks about usage, consumption, running, drawing on more intensively than originally sized. The transcript does not mention any metric like utilization rates, transaction volumes per client, or customers exhausting capacity. It mentions "reups from existing clients" and "addition of several new accounts" - that's growth, not intensity. Also, the Evergreen platform had net inflows but also some outflows. No mention of existing customers using more than planned. The only possible thing is that they say "more than 80% of gross inflows into customized separate accounts came from our existing client base" - that's just growth from existing clients, not necessarily heavier usage per client. It could be that they are adding more capital, but that's not described as "running hot" or "exhausting" anything. The question requires that the pressure originates in observed usage behavior of existing customers, and that management presents it as a current real pattern. Here, it's just growth. So answer NO.
