Docusign's 15.1% IAM share is missing its quarterly denominator
Docusign has made Intelligent Agreement Management visible as a share of annual recurring revenue. It has not made the quarterly total behind that share visible. The result is a strategically useful percentage that cannot yet answer the market's simplest product question: how…

Guidewire’s stronger operations run into a currency-and-tax squeeze
Quarterly operating profit more than doubled, yet net income fell. The route between the two numbers matters: a currency loss, a changed tax comparison and a recast adjusted-profit series are telling different parts of the story.

Asana bought StackAI. Its employee awards still require future work
Asana’s latest quarterly filing puts a useful boundary around the StackAI deal: US$74.6m bought the company, while a separate set of equity awards depends on employees’ future service. Owning the platform and securing the work needed to integrate it are different achievements.

nCino’s asset-based pricing still carries a platform bill
A bank’s balance sheet is becoming a more important reference point for nCino’s software prices. The cost of supplying that software follows a different set of variables. The company’s August results show why a shift away from seat counts deserves a closer reading than the…

UiPath's US$1.938bn ARR Is a Renewal Run-Rate, Not Contracted Backlog
UiPath put US$1.938 billion at the centre of its July-quarter update. The initials looked familiar, but the words behind them matter: this is Annualized Renewal Run-rate, not the more casually assumed annual recurring revenue. UiPath builds it from invoiced amounts by solution…

Domo’s US$410.8m RPO Cannot Be Netted Against Its Debt Clock
Domo entered July’s quarter-end with two large numbers that should never be placed in the same liquidity column. The cloud-software company reported US$410.8 million of remaining performance obligations, yet it held US$25.1 million of cash against US$138.3 million of loan…

Ciena’s 53% Cloud Revenue Is Not a Two-Customer Total
Ciena’s fiscal third quarter offers two useful views of demand. One says cloud providers supplied 53% of revenue and grew 82% from a year earlier. The other shows two anonymous cloud customers above the reporting threshold. They describe overlapping populations, but they do not…

A CDN-Cache-Control Field Is Not a Chain-Wide Cache Policy
`CDN-Cache-Control` lets an origin address CDN caches separately from other HTTP caches. That is a useful control surface, but the field is not a declaration that every cache on the path will apply the same policy. Recognition, parsing, target-list order and forwarding still…
