Your point for #2 is spot on.
We keep hearing "triple digit growth" which I've always assumed to be year over year (but I'm not sure most of the people owning VRUS do), but 999% (10x) is also "triple digit" — I think people read "triple" and cling onto that like they are going to see some unnatural growth rates. This isn't a software company - takes time to get products into new channels and on shelves. So yes I agree. They need to be very specific about their guidance so it doesn't unnecessarily drive volatility in the market. I'm okay with growth, but it's pretty easy to "140-175% year over year revenue growth" for example, or to your point, pretty easy to just give a revenue range and let us do the math ourselves as far as growth rates.
