They've already demonstrated Q/Q recurring rev growth of $2M between Q3 and Q4. I'm skeptical they can maintain the same level of incremental MRR/asset that they recognized last Qtr, but at slightly higher connection rates it is certainly possible to maintain the $2M per Qtr growth. Here are the Qtrly numbers it would take:

5000 assets at $133 MRR
6000 assets at $111 MRR
7000 assets at $95 MRR
8000 assets at $83 MRR

Asset initialization is 20% of Total Contract Value. It's not real money, but an accounting treatment of revenue. It's just how they recognize revenue. So for a $10,000/36 month contract they would recognize:

month 1: $2000
month 2: $228
month 3: $228
...
month 36: $228

The cash flows look however they are negotiated. So if there is an upfront payment to "pull forward" 20% of TCV in month one, their cash flows would look similar. But if not, the cash flows would look like MRR:

month 1: $277
month 2: $277
month 3: $277
...
month 36: $277

So asset care initialization isn't in addition to the MRR.

Your numbers look sound to me.
