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, or offering is already deployed, installed, adopted, or in use with existing customers, and is being used more intensively than originally sized, scoped, or expected. The heavier usage is observable in current business. Key points from transcript: Management discusses strong orders, revenue growth, but mostly in terms of bookings growth, market share gains, and expansion into new markets (China Tier 3/4 cities, etc.). They mention "service tails" from applied equipment sales, but that's future. They mention "increased commercial rental activity" due to hurricanes, but that's a temporary spike. They mention "increased part sales" in Q3 due to hurricanes, but that's a one-time event. They mention "aftermarket" growth, but not specifically about existing customers using more intensively than planned. They mention "service growth" in China, but that's part of market penetration. They mention "telematics" acquisition to strengthen portfolio, but not about existing customers using more. The question asks about "heavier usage" of existing customers' relationships. Management does not describe a phenomenon where existing customers are consuming more per account than originally planned. They talk about order growth, market share, and new market penetration. They mention "share gains" and "penetrating underserved markets." They do not describe existing customers running equipment harder or consuming more per unit. The only mention of "usage" is in context of telematics, but not about existing customers. Thus, answer is NO.
