Sequential re-rating: management describes the same offering landing bigger the second and third time around
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2021 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes successive engagements of the same kind coming in at progressively larger size. The question asks: does management convey that the deals, orders, contracts, projects, customers, sites, or programs it is landing NOW are individually bigger, broader, or longer than the ones it was landing for the same offering not long ago? We need to look for a comparison against the company's own recent past, that the larger instances are already real and recurring, and that it's early. In the transcript, management talks about growth in revenue, units, new accounts, etc. But does it specifically say that the size of individual deals or orders is escalating? Let's scan. Mark Baum mentions: "we continue to see strong daily revenues to this day." He talks about expanding commercial infrastructure, adding sales executives, etc. He mentions that they are preparing for AMP-100 launch. He talks about the base business continuing to grow. He says "we see the base business continuing to grow." He mentions new accounts being opened. But does he say that the average size of orders or contracts is increasing? He says "new accounts that are being opened" but doesn't specify that each new account is larger than before. He also talks about the potential for AMP-100 to be a premium product, but that's future. He says "we intend to apply for pass-through status" and "we expect to see our revenues more than double" but that's about future products. The question is about the current business: are the engagements (e.g., orders from customers) getting individually larger? There is no mention of average order size, contract value, or that new customers are starting at higher levels. The growth seems to be from volume: more units, more customers, but not necessarily larger per-customer orders. Also, the question asks for a comparison against the company's own recent past. Management does not explicitly say "our average order size has increased" or "new customers are starting at a higher level than before." They talk about growth in revenue and units, but that could be from more customers or more volume per customer, but they don't specify that the individual size of each engagement is larger. There is a mention of "record revenues" and "record units" but that's overall, not per engagement. Thus, the answer is NO.
