I looked as SOW as "Statement(s) of Work", meaning the number of projects with negotiated deliverables. I figured that the difference in growth of Count vs growth of Revenue meant that instead of fewer larger projects for fewer clients, the company was pursuing a larger number of smaller projects. While the revenue per unit is declining, spreading work over more clients reduces overall risk, that is, one client leaving has a reduced effect. The revenue per count is decaying exponentially, and if I fiddle with the numbers very unscientifically, I can make a case that revenue per count is asymptotically approaching a level of $6000. Not knowing anything about the numbers I started with, I can oly guess what it means. Ray -

I think it would be good to show the same chart for the count as well
