Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2016 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes existing customers using the product more intensively than originally planned, with heavier usage observed in current business. Key points: The transcript mentions various orders, but we need to see if there's a pattern of existing customers consuming more than expected. For example, the Viper program: initial order over 1,000 units completed, then follow-on order for $2.2 million. That could be seen as existing customer (prime OEM) ordering more, but is that heavier usage? It's a follow-on order, but is it described as usage intensity? The transcript says "final deliveries of the initial order for over 1,000 units were completed in Q3" and "a follow-on order for $2.2 million was received in early Q4". That might be a reorder, but not necessarily described as usage exceeding expectations. The question asks about usage intensity, like customers consuming more than planned. There's no explicit statement about existing customers using products more intensively. The transcript talks about revenue diversification, new orders, but not about existing customers running hot. There's mention of "9-Volt demand due to excess channel inventory" which is a decline. Also "softness" in some segments. No clear pattern of heavier usage. The answer is NO.
