Components of Results of Operations 

Revenues

We primarily generate revenues from subscription fees earned from customers accessing our cloud-based platform. Subscription revenues are driven primarily by the number of paying customers, the number of paying users within the customer base, and the level of subscription plan. We recognize revenues ratably over the related contractual term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to a customer. 

We also generate revenues from our consumption-based AI product and professional services, which are not material to the consolidated financial statements. 

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of the cost of providing our platform to free users and paying customers and is comprised of third-party hosting fees, personnel-related expenses for our operations and support personnel including allocated overhead costs for facilities and shared IT-related expenses, third-party implementation services

Operating expenses also include an allocation of overhead costs for facilities and shared IT-related expenses, including depreciation expense.
