Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2015 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes existing customers using the product more intensively than originally planned, as an observable current pattern. The transcript mentions "add-on revenue retention rate" increasing, and "increase subscription bookings from existing customers on non-SEC use cases" as primary driver. Also "deeper penetration of our existing customer base" contributed to revenue growth. But is this about usage intensity? The question asks about product/service being used more intensively than originally sized. The transcript says "The remaining 52.4% of the increase came from deeper penetration of our existing customer base." That could be interpreted as existing customers buying more, but is it about usage intensity? The examples given are about customers using Wdesk for additional use cases (e.g., SOX, ERM, audit). That is expansion within existing relationships, but is it "heavier usage" or just buying more modules? The question specifically says "consuming, processing, transacting, or ordering through the company's product or platform at rates above what their arrangement anticipated" or "usage, volumes, or activity per existing account growing noticeably faster than the count of accounts." The transcript mentions "add-on revenue retention rate" which is about existing customers spending more, but not necessarily about usage intensity. The question also says "the pressure originates in OBSERVED USAGE BEHAVIOR of customers the company already has — the existing base is running hot." The transcript does not explicitly say that customers are using the product more than expected. It says they are expanding to new use cases, which is a form of growth but not necessarily "running hot" in terms of usage intensity. The question also says "NO if growth is described mainly as winning new customers, new markets, or new logos rather than heavier use within existing relationships." Here, the growth is described as both new customers and existing customer expansion. But the specific phenomenon of "heavier usage" is not clearly stated. The transcript mentions "deeper penetration" but that could be selling more seats or modules, not necessarily usage intensity. Also, the question says "management presents this as a current, real pattern" - the transcript does present that existing customers are buying more, but it's not about usage intensity.
