The model's full reasoning — Q4 2015 call → NO我们根据提供的财报电话会议记录,判断管理层是否传达:公司销售的产品/服务对买家来说变得更难获得(供应趋紧),且管理层允许这种趋紧对公司有利(如提价、选择性接单等),而不是急于消除。 扫描记录:管理层谈论了强劲需求、市场份额增长、新客户增加、扩展用例、投资于销售和研发。没有提到任何供应限制、产能瓶颈、等待名单、配额或选择性接单。相反,他们强调增长、扩张和满足需求。例如,他们提到“我们继续投资于软件开发和销售营销以利用扩大的市场机会”,以及“我们预计2016年非SEC用例将贡献超过50%的订阅预订”。没有提及产品/服务变得稀缺或更难获得。也没有提到管理层利用稀缺性来提价或选择性接单。价格方面,他们提到“提高价格”但这是常规的年度提价,并非因稀缺性。因此,答案应为NO。
