Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes existing customers using the product/service more intensively than originally planned, with observable current usage. The transcript discusses rental homes, sales, occupancy. Key points: rental home program, occupancy 93.3%, demand strong. Sales increased 67% in quarter, year-to-date 34%, already surpassed 2017 sales. They are adding 800 rental homes per year, but that's new supply. The question is about existing customers using more. For rentals, they have 6,215 rentals, 93.3% occupied. That's high utilization. But is that "heavier usage" than planned? They are adding homes to meet demand. The sales increase is about new customers buying homes, not existing customers using more. The transcript mentions "demand for rentals is very strong" and "sales demand is as strong as it has been since prior to the recession." But that's about overall demand, not necessarily existing customers using more per account. The company's business model is to fill vacant sites. They have 3,600 vacant sites. They are filling them. That's growth in occupancy, not necessarily heavier usage per existing customer. The question asks about "intensity of real-world usage inside relationships the company has already won is climbing on its own, ahead of what the company or the customer originally planned for." For example, existing customers renting more homes? No, they are adding new rental homes. Existing customers buying more? No, sales are to new buyers. The transcript does not describe existing customers consuming more per account. It describes overall demand and growth. There is no mention of existing customers outgrowing or using more than planned. The only possible is that occupancy is high, but that's a result of filling vacancies, not existing customers using more. So answer NO.
