Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if the transcript describes a situation where existing customers (proven, repeat counterparties) are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is enlarging itself in response. The question is specific: "BUYERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT FROM THE COMPANY AND SEEN THE RESULT ARE NOW ASKING FOR MORE THAN THE COMPANY CAN CURRENTLY SUPPLY THEM." We need to see if management conveys that. Reading the transcript: The call is about Q1 2018 results. Management discusses strong performance, bookings, retention, etc. They mention wins with existing customers, up-sells, and new customers. They talk about a large auto company deal (existing customer) that chose Brightcove after a bake-off. They mention recurring dollar retention rate of 103%, driven by up-sells. They talk about completing a commodity pricing reset. They discuss investments in sales teams, etc. But is there any mention of existing customers asking for more than the company can supply? The transcript does not mention any capacity constraints, inability to meet demand, or the company having to turn away business or enlarge capacity. There is no discussion of supply shortfalls, hiring to meet demand, or building infrastructure to serve existing customers' requests. The company seems to be meeting demand. They talk about strong bookings, but no mention of being unable to fulfill orders. They talk about investments in sales and marketing, but that's normal growth. They mention a "three-year multi-million dollar transaction" with an existing customer, but that's a win, not a constraint. The question asks specifically about a situation where the company's own satisfied buyers are asking for more than the company can currently supply, and the company is building to serve them. There is no such description. The company is not saying they have more demand than they can handle. They are just reporting good results and guidance. Thus, the answer is NO.
