Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2023 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes existing customers using the product/service more intensively than originally planned, with observable current usage behavior. The transcript mentions manufacturing facility at capacity with enormous demand, and brands coming to them for manufacturing. This suggests existing customers (brands) are increasing demand, but is it described as heavier usage within existing relationships? The CEO says "we have a manufacturing facility that is at capacity for which we have enormous demand" and "some of the largest brands in the world are coming to us and want us to do their manufacturing, some of them want us to do all of their manufacturing, not only in the United States but globally." This indicates new customers and expanded scope, but also existing customers wanting more? The phrase "at capacity" suggests they are running at full utilization, but the demand is from both existing and new. However, the question asks about existing customers using more than originally planned. The CEO says "we have demand for at least $25 million of revenues next year" and "revenues are running up almost a 100% year over year" but that could be from new customers. He also says "we are just constrained by how quickly we can build out the additional capacity" - that suggests they are running at capacity, but is that due to existing customers increasing usage? The transcript doesn't explicitly say that existing customers are consuming more per customer. It says "some of the largest brands in the world are coming to us" - that's new logos. Also "want us to do their manufacturing" - that's new business. There's no mention of existing customers increasing their order sizes beyond what was planned. The CEO also mentions "reliability of supply" and "retailers go ballistic" but that's about the industry. The question is about usage intensity within existing relationships. The transcript does not clearly describe that. It describes demand exceeding capacity, but that could be from new customers. Also, the CEO says "we have demand for at least $25 million of revenues next year" - that's future. The current revenue is running up 100% year over year, but that might be from new customers. No explicit statement that existing customers are using more than planned. So answer NO.
