Running hot in customers' hands: existing deployments are being used harder than they were sized for
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes existing customers using the product/service more intensively than originally planned, as a current observable pattern. Scan the transcript for relevant statements. Key segments: RF Technology, Medical, Industrial, Energy. RF: "Our freight matching business also had phenomenal results. We had significant adds in net subscribers." That's new customers, not usage intensity. "CBORD actually grew in its food and nutrition management software business on these healthcare campus-type environments where they get multiple facilities." That's expansion, not necessarily usage intensity. "Toll and traffic grew low single digits, but did a very good job in terms of project execution." Not usage. "ConstructConnect continued to build muscle and expand into what we want to do with it." Not usage. PowerPlan: "It's required to meet tax strategies... improves their cash flow." Not usage. Medical: "We had good market adoption of Verathon's new BladderScan technology" - adoption, not usage intensity. "GlideScope consumables we introduced a while back have been growing quite substantially." That's consumables growth, but is that usage intensity? Possibly, but it's about new product adoption, not existing customers using more than planned. Industrial: "Another revenue quarter for Neptune, which had double-digit growth again, really driven by customer-focused innovation." Not usage intensity. Energy: "The upstream application businesses... were very strong." Not usage. No mention of customers consuming more than planned, utilization rates, or existing base running hot. The only mention of "usage" is in the context of "usage-based activity" but not in the transcript. The transcript does not describe any such phenomenon. Thus answer NO.
