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.

is it still traditional RPA heavy in those transactions or if we're seeing a bigger impact from some of the AI functionality?

Show response

Direct: Ashim said top deals are materially AI-driven, mid-tier still pulls deterministic RPA, and the low end is the drag.

is there any reason why Maestro isn't a part of basically every deal that has AI?

Product LaunchCloud & AITranscript · FY2027 Q1 →
Show response

Direct: Daniel said Maestro is for more involved end-to-end orchestration deals, not every task-automation deal, though it lands bigger, stickier deals.

ChallengingRevenue GrowthGuidance ReliabilityTranscript · FY2026 Q3 →
Show response

Ashim directly denied slipped deals drove the guide, attributing implied net new ARR growth to improved execution, FX, and momentum including public-sector normalization.

are there any key drivers or levers that you've learned through some of these

how are these technologies impacting your sales cycles? On one hand, I can see them slowing sales cycles down because it's something new to evaluate
