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 that the company's product/service/capacity is being used more intensively by existing customers than originally planned, with heavier usage observable in current business. The transcript discusses various topics: sales, closings, margins, AV acquisition, customer surveys, etc. The question is about "usage intensity" of existing customers. In homebuilding context, this could be interpreted as customers buying more homes? Or maybe the "product" is homes, and existing customers are not really "using" them more intensively. The question seems to be about a product or service that is consumed or used, like software, equipment, etc. But here it's homebuilding. The company sells homes. Existing customers are homeowners. They don't "use" the product more intensively. The question might be a generic template for any company. We need to see if management describes any phenomenon like customers consuming more, usage per account increasing, etc. Looking at the transcript, there is discussion about customer behavior: "we have recently asked our customers a few questions to help us understand the why behind the behavior of spending less on a home than they are qualified to spend." That's about customers spending less, not more. There's no mention of existing customers using more of the product. The company talks about sales pace, community count, etc. That's about new home sales, not usage intensity. The question specifically asks: "does management describe that the company's product, service, capacity, or offering — as ALREADY deployed, installed, adopted, or in use with its EXISTING customers — is being USED, CONSUMED, RUN, OR DRAWN ON MORE INTENSIVELY than those relationships were originally sized, scoped, or expected to require, with this heavier usage described as actually observable in the current business?" In homebuilding, the product is homes. Existing customers are homeowners. They don't consume more of the product. There's no mention of existing customers buying more homes or using homes more intensively. The company talks about sales to new customers, not existing customers. The only thing about existing customers is the survey about why they spend less. That's the opposite. Thus, the answer is NO.
