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 — Q4 2015 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO. Need analyze transcript for evidence of both halves. Management discusses pricing increases? Stuart: "we raise prices on just under 1,500 customers in 2015 and we plan to raise prices on about 1,800 customers in 2016." That indicates price increases achieved and planned. But does it say new business terms improved vs own recent norm? It says raising prices on customers. Also subscription gross margin improved due to "higher subscription prices" accounted for margin expansion. But is that meaningful step-up? Need see if reported results still mostly reflect old terms? They mention price increases on customers, but not necessarily that improvement only begun to flow. They gave guidance. Need determine if management conveys both halves. The question asks "ECONOMIC TERMS OF COMPANY'S NEWEST BUSINESS — prices, rates, fees, spreads, contract sizes, durations, or profitability at which its most recent deals, orders, contracts, renewals, or transactions are being struck — have stepped up MEANINGFULLY ABOVE COMPANY'S OWN RECENT NORM, and that this improvement in terms of incoming business has only BEGUN to flow into reported results, because most of business in reported numbers still written at older, less favorable terms." Transcript: Stuart says "Improved efficiency of our customer success team and higher subscription prices accounted for the margin expansion." That's past results. Also "we raise prices on just under 1,500 customers in 2015 and we plan to raise prices on about 1,800 customers in 2016." This is about price increases, but not necessarily "newest business" terms? It is renewals/price increases. It indicates achieved price increases. But does it say improvement only begun to flow? Not really. They discuss guidance for 2016 with revenue growth, but not specifically that better terms are early in numbers. Also they mention "higher subscription prices" in Q4 margin expansion, so already reflected. No statement that most reported results still old terms. Also no mention of contract sizes, durations, etc. The answer likely NO because management does not convey both halves. Need be careful: The question asks "On this call, does management indicate..." We need only transcript.

CRL · Q2 2022 → YESThe question is about whether management indicates that the economic terms of the company's newest business have stepped up meaningfully above the company's own recent norm, and that this improvement ...YES Management's comments on Safety Assessment pricing and backlog directly address both required elements: they describe current bookings and backlog at "escalating prices" and "meaningful price increases" that are already achieved on real transactions (not targets or future expectations), while noting that the reported Q2 results are still dominated by older 2022 terms and that the stronger pricing is accelerating into H2 and 2023 bookings.
