New business is being written on visibly better terms than the company's own recent norm, and the mix shift has just beg
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2021 call → NOWe need to determine if management indicates that the economic terms of the newest business have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm, and that this improvement has only begun to flow into reported results. Let's analyze the transcript. Management discusses strong results, growth, cross-sell, etc. They mention large deals, six-figure deals, and that they are seeing higher attach rates, expansion rates, and that Tenable.ep is driving higher deal sizes. They say average deal size is 55-60% higher than core VM standalone. They also mention that they are adding quota capacity and that pipeline is strong. However, the question is specifically about economic terms of the newest business stepping up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm, and that this improvement has only begun to flow into reported results. Management does mention that they are seeing higher deal sizes, and that they have a strong pipeline. But do they explicitly say that the terms of new business are better than recent past? They say "we are seeing higher attach rates" and "expansion rates increase" and "Tenable.ep is certainly playing the role of that." They also say "average deal size is about 55% to 60% higher than if we would sell core VM on a standalone basis." That is a comparison to their own product, not necessarily to their own recent norm. But they also say "we are seeing momentum with larger deals" and "large deals grew 30% year-over-year." That indicates that the size of deals is increasing. However, is that a step-up in economic terms? Possibly. But the second part: "the reported results still mostly reflect the old terms." Do they say that? They say that the improvement is early? They mention that Alsid acquisition closed late April, and that they are seeing good momentum but it will take time. They also say that they expect greater contribution from Alsid in Q4. But that is about a specific acquisition, not about the general terms of business. They also mention that they are investing in sales and marketing, and that they expect to see higher sequential spend. They don't explicitly say that the reported results are still dominated by old terms. They do say that they are seeing strong results and that they are raising guidance.
