How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Conceded leverage ran ahead of plan and flagged the offsetting Ireland hiring and depreciation in Q3 rather than claiming the Q2 rate is the run rate.
Calendar 2026 Q1
The Smart Basal launch, I think it was early access in 1Q. When do you expand this launch
Show response
Jake confirmed Smart Basal still in pilot with updates made based on clinical workflow learnings. Algorithm not being revalidated; focus is on workflow integration across large diabetes clinics and small primary care offices. Plans to expand throughout the year with big launch once workflow finalized.

Calendar 2025 Q2
the over 400,000 app downloads is certainly higher than we thought. Is the guide still -- I think last week we checked, it was 2% to 3% of sales for the year

Calendar 2025 Q1
internationally, you mentioned pockets of strength relative to consensus, international revenue was a bit below where folks were looking for
