NO on the Q3 2017 call 2017-10-24 C
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2017 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes that a growing share of revenue now arrives without a new selling event—through reorders, renewals, repeat purchases, usage-driven billing, aftermarket pull-through, etc.—and that this self-arriving share has recently and visibly grown as a proportion of the business, with management grounding the shift in observed current behavior and treating it as changing the company's quality of revenue. We need to look for evidence in the transcript. The question is specific: management must convey both halves: (1) self-arriving revenue observed now, with concrete grounding in recent period, not generic recurring revenue language; (2) the proportion has recently moved—visibly larger share than recently, with mix still early in shift. Let's scan the transcript for any discussion of revenue that arrives without a new selling event, such as renewals, reorders, consumables, etc. The transcript covers Q3 2017 earnings call. Management discusses various segments, product lines, and transformations. They talk about moving from installed software to SaaS, from phone to online surveys, etc. They also discuss the Laerdal agreement and future products. But do they explicitly describe a growing share of revenue that arrives without a new selling event? They mention renewals, but is there a specific observation that renewals or repeat purchases are growing as a proportion? They mention "renewal behavior" but not necessarily a recent shift. Let's look for key phrases. Bobby Frist says: "We've seen some early preliminary indications of success." He talks about a top five account renewing early and adding four years, and adding new products. That's a renewal, but it's one anecdote. They also mention "customers reordering on their own schedule" perhaps? They talk about HeartCode licenses: "some of our larger accounts made through their purchases to satisfy their needs for additional HeartCode licenses in the quarter." That's a reorder, but it's described as a one-time thing, not a growing trend. Gerry Hayden mentions "renewal behavior" but not a shift. They talk about the shift from phone to online surveys, which is a modality shift, not necessarily self-arriving revenue. They talk about moving from installed software to SaaS, which changes revenue recognition but not necessarily self-arriving without a selling event.

Show the exact prompt the model was given
Using ONLY the supplied earnings call transcript and no outside information: On this call, does management describe that a GROWING SHARE OF THE COMPANY'S REVENUE NOW ARRIVES WITHOUT A NEW SELLING EVENT — through reorders, refills, renewals, repeat purchases, usage-driven billing, aftermarket or consumable pull-through, or customers' own standing routines — AND that this self-arriving share has RECENTLY AND VISIBLY GROWN as a proportion of the business, with management grounding the shift in observed current behavior and treating it as changing the company's quality of revenue? Answer YES when management's own words convey, in whatever form fits the business, ONE coherent recent shift with both halves present: (1) SELF-ARRIVING REVENUE, OBSERVED NOW: management points to real, current repeat-mechanism revenue — reorder rates, renewal behavior, consumable or aftermarket attach, usage growth from installed product, or customers reordering on their own schedule — described with concrete grounding in the recent period, not asserted through generic 'recurring revenue' or 'loyal customers' language; and (2) THE PROPORTION HAS RECENTLY MOVED: management conveys that this self-arriving component is a visibly LARGER share of the business than it recently was — through an installed base that has recently scaled, a consumable or service stream now compounding on top of equipment already placed, or repeat behavior recently strengthening — so the company's revenue is becoming progressively less dependent on winning each sale, with the mix still early in its shift. Answer NO if the business has always been overwhelmingly recurring or contractual with nothing recently shifted. NO if repeat language is boilerplate with no observed behavior or recent change. NO if the repeat revenue is forced by contract lock-in with no customer choice described. NO if the shift is only planned or hoped for. NO if the pattern rests on one anecdote, or appears only in an analyst's question management does not affirm. Use only the supplied transcript. Answer only YES or NO.
