They say growth slowed from 7% QOQ to 3.2% QOQ. Having only 3.2% Q4 QOQ growth is pretty worrying considering they had ~14% QOQ growth in every prior Q4.



Serious question: are the growth numbers scrutinized? How exactly are they calculated? It seems like down-playing growth numbers pre-IPO could leave more room for "awesome growth" in the first few post-IPO years. Maybe switch the way the numbers are calculated at the appropriate times.
