Next-round agenda: (1) Rank the 4 assumptions that would most change our investment view (buyback cadence/FCF sensitivity, AgentForce unit economics & paid‑conversion, PS/time‑to‑production, AI cost & margin durability) and for each specify threshold conditions that would flip bullish/neutral/bearish; (2) Summarize transcript evidence vs DATA_GAPS for each assumption; (3) Propose concise management questions and a modeling structure (key inputs/range) to test scenarios.
[Risk] For investors: the incremental $20B buyback amplifies EPS but can compress optionality if AI/AgentForce monetization under‑delivers; monitor buyback execution cadence vs operating cash flow, incremental EPS per $1B repurchased, and AgentForce conversion metrics (paid deals → ARR, expansion %). Ask management for a buyback timeline and FCF/margin sensitivity including LLM cost pressure. [ref:Q3CC "Returned $2.6 billion to shareholders in Q2 (≈ $2.2B repurchases, $399M dividends) and announced an incremental $20B to the buyback program (total authorized $50B)."]
Falsifier: company provides buyback timeline (Confidence: Med)
Judge
Speculation Score: 0.3 | Quantification Score: 0.0 (lower is better)
Buyback and AgentForce figures are sourced; risk linkage to optionality and LLM-cost pressure is logical but depends on forward assumptions.

Q: Has Salesforce disclosed a timeline for execution of the incremental $20 billion share‑repurchase authorization and published free‑cash‑flow or operating‑margin sensitivity analyses showing the impact of buyback cadence and potential LLM cost pressure?
A: No. Salesforce’s investor materials (press release announcing the $20B incremental authorization on Sept 3, 2025) state the Board increased the repurchase authorization but do not commit a timeline; the company says repurchases “do not have a fixed expiration date” and timing, amount and manner are at the company’s discretion. I found no public free‑cash‑flow or operating‑margin sensitivity analyses that model competing buyback cadences or incremental LLM/AI cost pressure. To confirm otherwise would require a company filing, investor presentation, or formal analyst supplement explicitly publishing such sensitivity tables. (investor.salesforce.com)

[Strength] For investors: Q3 transcript reports AgentForce at scale — Salesforce “process more than 3.2 trillion tokens.” [ref:Q3CC "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens."] — mechanism: that volume creates an operational moat (bargaining power vs model vendors, amortization of a centralized LLM gateway, and leverage from deterministic/ hybrid routing to control costs), which supports durable AOV/margin upside if model-costs are managed; investors should monitor compute/LLM spend as % of subscription revenue, token-growth cadence, and vendor concentration disclosures.
Falsifier: disclose AgentForce compute cost share (Confidence: High)
Judge
Speculation Score: 0.3 | Quantification Score: 0.0 (lower is better)
Transcript explicitly reports 3.2T tokens; mechanistic claims (moat, bargaining power, margin upside) are plausible but inferential and rely on unstated cost/vendor assumptions.
Oracle
Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed compute/LLM spending attributable to AgentForce (for example, as a percentage of subscription revenue) and the vendor concentration of its LLM providers?
A: No. As of 2025‑12‑03, Salesforce’s public filings and earnings releases report Agentforce/Data Cloud ARR and usage metrics but do not break out compute or LLM spend (nor a percentage of subscription revenue) attributable to Agentforce, nor publish a vendor‑concentration breakdown of its LLM providers. Salesforce disclosures emphasize ARR, tokens/usage, and product adoption but stop short of itemizing compute/LLM costs or vendor‑share percentages. (salesforce.com)

[Risk] Rapid Data Cloud/AgentForce adoption likely hides substantial integration and professional‑services work — “Data Cloud & AI annual recurring revenue exceeded $1.2 billion, up 120% Y/Y.” [ref:Q3CC "Data Cloud & AI annual recurring revenue exceeded $1.2 billion, up 120% Y/Y."] For investors: require management to disclose PS backlog, average time‑to‑production for AgentForce/Data Cloud deals, dollarized PS revenue vs ARR, and gross margin by product — failure to disclose would increase execution and margin downside risk.

Speculation Score: 0.3 | Quantification Score: 0.0 (lower is better)
Claim ties to disclosed ARR and management commentary on integration/PS needs; inference about hidden PS burden is plausible but partly speculative.
Oracle
Q: Has Salesforce disclosed its professional‑services backlog, average time‑to‑production for Data Cloud and AgentForce deals, dollarized professional‑services revenue versus ARR, and product‑level gross margins?
A: Short answer: No — Salesforce discloses professional‑services revenue (and aggregate RPO/cRPO) but does not separately disclose a “professional‑services backlog” as a standalone metric, company‑wide average time‑to‑production for Data Cloud or Agentforce deals, a direct “dollarized professional‑services revenue vs. ARR” reconciliation, or product‑level gross margins. Its Form 10‑K and earnings releases report professional services revenue and cost-of-revenue (service vs. subscription) and consolidated RPO/cRPO/ARR and product/service revenue line items, but not the specific per‑product gross margins, time‑to‑production averages, or a dollarized PS‑vs‑ARR metric. (sec.gov)
What would confirm otherwise: an explicit disclosure in Salesforce’s SEC filings, investor presentation, or earnings press release showing those exact metrics.

[Risk] For investors: Salesforce’s rapid push to monetize AgentForce/Data‑Cloud creates concentrated regulatory and disclosure tail‑risks (data residency, consent, model provenance, auditability, sectoral regulators); investors should demand quarterly, standardized disclosure (model lineage & third‑party LLM usage %, cross‑border data flows, incident/complaint counts, remediation reserves) and consider covenant triggers or explicit reps & warranties in large financings.

Strongly supported: AgentForce/Data Cloud monetization and security/compliance flags in company materials; recommendation is prescriptive but plausible.
Oracle
Q: Has Salesforce published standardized AI and data‑governance KPIs for investors (for example model lineage, percentage use of third‑party LLMs, cross‑border data‑flow metrics, and counts of incidents or complaints)?
A: No. As of 2025‑12‑03 Salesforce publishes trust/Responsible‑AI policies (Trust Layer, zero‑retention, data‑masking) and occasional operational figures in earnings releases (e.g., token counts, Data 360 ingestion), but it has not published a standardized, investor‑oriented KPI set explicitly reporting model lineage, percentage use of third‑party LLMs, cross‑border data‑flow metrics, or standardized counts of incidents/complaints. Public materials show technical controls and ad‑hoc metrics in press/earnings, not a formal investor KPI framework. Confirming publication would require an official Salesforce investor/ESG disclosure or methodology document titled or summarized as standardized AI/data‑governance KPIs. (salesforce.com)

[Risk] For investors: Q3 bookings/ARR momentum may mask uneven paid‑adoption and renewal health (AgentForce/Data Cloud mix risk). Ask management for cohort‑level metrics: product-by-product NDR, trial→paid conversion, expansion vs net‑new ARR split, usage‑to‑revenue conversion, and retention of customers that adopted AgentForce; require these as modeling inputs or covenant reporting for larger positions.

And a bad debt expense adjustment" [ref:Q3CC "The strong performance this quarter was driven in part by timing of expenses. And a bad debt expense adjustment based on our strong collection performance."]. Mechanism: timing/one‑offs and early AgentForce monetization could reverse margins. For investors: demand (a) quarterly GAAP→non‑GAAP bridge with line‑item impacts, and (b) AgentForce cohort conversion metrics (trial→paid ARR; ARR→revenue).

Numeric claims and management quotes are directly supported; warning that margin beat is transitory is a plausible inference but not explicitly proven in the transcript.
Oracle
Q: Does Salesforce publish a quarterly GAAP‑to‑non‑GAAP reconciliation with line‑item impacts that explains timing items and one‑offs (for example bad‑debt adjustments) that materially affected quarterly margins?
A: Yes — Salesforce’s quarterly earnings releases include GAAP‑to‑non‑GAAP reconciliations (showing adjustments such as amortization of purchased intangibles, stock‑based compensation, restructuring and tax effects). However, those press‑release tables are summary‑level and do not routinely break out every timing item or one‑off (e.g., specific bad‑debt provision amounts impacting quarter‑to‑quarter margins).

Oracle
Q: Has Salesforce provided sensitivity tables or disclosures showing revenue and bookings exposure to foreign‑exchange movements, a breakdown of subscription versus on‑premise bookings by currency, or metrics describing cRPO resiliency under weaker enterprise IT spending?
A: No. Salesforce’s SEC filings and investor releases disclose foreign‑currency risk (currencies exposed, hedging program and notional outstanding) and sometimes quantify FX impacts on guidance (e.g., $100M–$300M year‑over‑year FX effects in FY‑2026 guidance), and they report cRPO and cRPO growth trends. However, they do not publish detailed sensitivity tables mapping revenue or bookings exposure by currency, nor a published breakdown of subscription vs. on‑premise (term license) bookings by currency, nor formal cRPO stress‑test/resiliency tables under weaker enterprise IT spending.

Q: Has Salesforce published operational energy and sustainability metrics tied to its AI footprint, such as kWh per token (or per inference), percentage of compute on renewable energy, data‑center PUE, or supplier due‑diligence information related to Informatica?
A: Short answer: Partially. Salesforce has published AI-related sustainability disclosures (e.g., model pre‑training energy/carbon methodology, a “model pre‑training weighted aggregate carbon factor = 136 gCO2e/kWh,” reported training emissions and that training used lower‑carbon data centers; and companywide claims of net‑zero residual emissions / 100% renewable energy for operations). However, Salesforce has not published precise, operational AI metrics such as kWh per token or kWh per inference, a public breakdown of “percentage of AI compute running on renewable energy,” nor a publicly detailed per‑data‑center PUE catalogue tied to specific AI workloads. I found no public supplier‑due‑diligence disclosures from Salesforce that are specifically about Informatica. (engineering.salesforce.com)

A: No. As of 2025‑12‑03 Salesforce publicly reports Agentforce / Data‑AI ARR metrics and cRPO levels (e.g., press releases and earnings transcripts) but has not disclosed an agent‑level gross margin metric that explicitly isolates LLM hosting/infrastructure costs, nor a breakdown of cRPO showing product‑mix contribution by Agentforce. Public filings and earnings materials show Agentforce ARR and aggregate cRPO but no granular gross‑margin or cRPO product‑mix line items. (salesforce.com)

Q: Has Salesforce published cohort‑level KPI packs or the results of pricing A/B tests for AgentForce (for example trial→paid conversion, payback curves, and pricing elasticity results) in investor materials or public disclosures?
A: No — as of Dec 3, 2025 Salesforce’s public investor materials and product disclosures do not publish cohort‑level KPI packs or detailed pricing A/B‑test results for Agentforce (e.g., trial→paid conversion rates, payback curves, pricing‑elasticity findings). Public filings and press releases describe Agentforce features, editions and list public rate cards/pricing, but do not include cohort KPIs or A/B experiment outcomes.

Role Round Reason Corporate Counsel, Privacy & Antitrust 2 Requests cohort KPIs to validate AgentForce monetization — critical for investor due diligence
Next-round agenda: (1) Reconcile buyback vs FCF — estimate plausible repurchase cadence implied by the $20B authorization and outline FCF/margin sensitivity thresholds where buybacks materially constrain optionality; explicitly tag data gaps. (2) AgentForce monetization bounds — using public counts (>12.5k deals, >6k paid), estimate trial→paid conversion, ARR/paid‑deal and time‑to‑production scenarios that would flip our view; list missing cohort KPIs. (3) LLM/compute risk — specify unit‑economics inputs ($/1M tokens, % deterministic routing, compute% of rev) and margin‑compression breakpoints.
[Strength] For investors: management paired a large incremental repurchase authorization with clear AI product traction — "Returned $2.6 billion to shareholders in Q2 (≈ $2.2B repurchases, $399M dividends) and announced an incremental $20B to the buyback program (total authorized $50B)." [ref:Q3CC "Returned $2.6 billion to shareholders in Q2 (≈ $2.2B repurchases, $399M dividends) and announced an incremental $20B to the buyback program (total authorized $50B)."] and "Data Cloud & AI annual recurring revenue exceeded $1.2 billion, up 120% Y/Y." [ref:Q3CC "Data Cloud & AI annual recurring revenue exceeded $1.2 billion, up 120% Y/Y."] Treat this as a partial de‑risk (capital returns + high‑growth AI ARR) but require three investor actions: (1) demand a published buyback execution timeline and monthly FCF/run‑rate reconciliation to verify buybacks are FCF‑covered; (2) insist on cohort‑level AgentForce metrics (pilot→paid conversion, ARR per paid deal, expansion %) and PS/backlog + time‑to‑production to validate durable monetization; (3) stress‑test models with a scenario where buybacks pause if operating cash flow misses guidance — downgrade if cohort conversion and PS throughput do not show sustained improvement over two consecutive quarters.

Q: How much did Salesforce return to shareholders in Q2 FY2026, broken down by share repurchases and dividends, and what incremental share‑repurchase authorization did management announce (incremental amount and total authorized after the announcement)?
A: Salesforce returned $2.6 billion to shareholders in Q2 FY2026 (quarter ended July 31, 2025): $2.2 billion in share repurchases and $399 million in dividends. Management announced a $20 billion incremental share‑repurchase authorization, bringing the total buyback authorization to $50 billion. (salesforce.com)
Q: What Q3 FY2026 revenue and non‑GAAP diluted EPS guidance did Salesforce provide, and did management raise the low end of its FY2026 revenue guidance when reporting Q2 results?
A: Q3 FY2026 guidance: revenue $10.24 billion–$10.29 billion; non‑GAAP diluted EPS $2.84–$2.86. Management did raise the low end of FY2026 revenue guidance when reporting Q2, increasing full‑year revenue guidance to $41.1 billion–$41.3 billion (up from $41.0B–$41.3B). (salesforce.com)
Q: Did Salesforce reiterate specific FY2026 margin and free‑cash‑flow targets during its Q2 FY2026 earnings/press materials, and if so what numeric targets or ranges did management state publicly?
A: Yes. In the Q2 FY2026 materials (Sept. 3, 2025) Salesforce updated FY2026 targets: non‑GAAP operating margin guidance was raised to 34.1% (GAAP operating margin cited ~21.2%), and management raised operating‑cash‑flow growth to approximately 12%–13% year‑over‑year; investor guidance tables also cite free‑cash‑flow growth of about 9%–10% for FY26.

Q: Which published market coverage items or analyst commentaries (for example CNBC) following Salesforce's Q2 FY2026 results specifically flagged investor caution about near‑term AI monetization scale and conservative near‑term guidance, and what were the main points they raised?
A: CNBC (Sept. 4, 2025) — flagged investor caution after Salesforce’s Q2 beat because management’s conservative Q3 revenue/earnings guide and comments left investors skeptical that AI investments were translating into near‑term revenue; article highlighted the stock drop, weak revenue forecast and the debate that “AI might eat software” rather than lift it immediately. (cnbc.com)
AP News (Sept. 3–4, 2025) — reported investor skepticism on Salesforce’s AI story despite strong margins and ARR growth for Data Cloud/Agentforce, noting investors questioned the pace at which Agentforce/Data‑AI would scale monetization and pointing to cautious guidance and Benioff’s need to convince markets. (apnews.com)
Main points raised: conservative near‑term guidance vs. expectations; AI/Data Cloud/Agentforce ARR growth is strong but still a small slice of total revenue; uncertainty over timing/scale of AI monetization and impact on revenue growth.

[Risk] Rapid AgentForce token scale (Salesforce "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens." [ref:Q3CC "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens."]) creates a second‑order margin risk because LLM‑gateway variable costs, vendor price moves, and latency/availability SLAs can scale faster than monetization; mechanism: rising per‑call/token costs + heavier LLM routing inflate OPEX and compress non‑GAAP margins.

[Risk] Rank the four assumptions that would flip our investment view and the threshold investors should demand: (1) Buyback vs FCF — downgrade if operating cash flow growth fails to hit the company's “approximately 13% to 14%” guidance and management cannot tie repurchase cadence to FCF [ref:Q3CC "We are raising our annual guidance on operating cash flow growth to approximately 13% to 14% growth as a result of our strong Q3 bookings performance."] ; (2) AgentForce monetization — downgrade if cohort KPIs (trial→paid %, ARR/paid‑deal, % bookings from expansions) and PS days‑to‑production do not support modeled 6–18 month monetization [post:2_5]; (3) LLM/compute economics — require compute cost as % of revenue disclosure [Status: UNKNOWN]; (4) Margin durability — downgrade if non‑GAAP margin reversion is unexplained.

[Strength] Salesforce's raw scale in AgentForce (they "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens." [ref:Q3CC "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens."]) is a strategic asset — it creates real bargaining/hedging optionality vs model vendors and allows engineering levers (caching, quantization, hybrid routing) to compress unit costs; For investors: treat token scale as a potential margin moat but demand disclosures: (a) vendor contract terms/price floors & committed volumes, (b) % deterministic vs LLM routing and marginal $/1M‑token economics, (c) planned infra/edge optimizations and expected margin upside; require scenario breakpoints for margin sensitivity.

Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed the median sales‑cycle length (for example median days from opportunity creation to close) for AgentForce deals, and if so what median number of days was reported and in which source?
A: No — as of 2025‑12‑03 Salesforce has not publicly reported a median sales‑cycle length (e.g., median days from opportunity creation to close) specifically for Agentforce deals. Public disclosures describe deal counts, ARR and customer case studies (e.g., 5,000 Agentforce deals closed in the first 90 days and customer success stories) but contain no median-days metric. (cdn.yahoofinance.com)
What would confirm it: an explicit median‑days metric in a Salesforce earnings release, investor presentation/slide deck, SEC filing, or product case study.
Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed the win rate for AgentForce deals versus legacy Salesforce SKUs, and if so what win‑rate(s) (percentage) were reported and in which public filings or presentations?
A: Yes — Salesforce’s public marketing materials claim Agentforce drives a “10% increase in win rates” (and “33% faster meeting prep”). Source: Agentforce / Sales product pages. (salesforce.com)
No — I found no statement in Salesforce’s SEC filings, investor presentations, or quarterly earnings releases that reports a quantified Agentforce vs. legacy‑SKU win‑rate comparison; their investor press releases (e.g., Q3 FY2026) discuss Agentforce revenue growth but do not disclose win‑rate percentages. (investor.salesforce.com)
Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed the percentage split of AgentForce deals sold directly by Salesforce versus sold through systems integrators/partners, and if so what percentages were reported and in which public document or presentation?
A: No — there is no public disclosure I can find (through Salesforce press releases, investor presentations, and product/partner announcements) that reports a percentage split of Agentforce deals sold “directly by Salesforce” versus “through systems integrators/partners.” Salesforce’s public materials (e.g., Agentforce Partner Network and AgentExchange announcements, and fiscal results noting total Agentforce deals closed) report partner programs and deal counts but do not give a direct-vs.-partner percent breakdown. (investor.salesforce.com)
If Salesforce were to publish this split, it would most likely appear in an investor presentation, earnings release, or partner-program briefing; those documents would confirm the percentages.
Assumption: I searched Salesforce investor/news releases and major Agentforce product/partner pages through 2025-12-03.Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed the average professional‑services dollars billed per paid AgentForce deal, and if so what dollar amount (or range) was reported and where?
A: No. As of 2025‑12‑03 Salesforce has publicly reported counts of paid Agentforce deals and aggregate “professional services and other” revenue in its financial releases, but it has not disclosed an average professional‑services dollars billed per paid Agentforce deal. Confirmation would require an explicit statement or breakdown from Salesforce (press release, 10‑Q/10‑K, or earnings‑call remark) reporting a per‑deal services average. (reuters.com)

A: No. Salesforce’s Q2 FY2026 disclosures (earnings release and Form 10‑Q for quarter ended July 31, 2025) do not report any dollar value or percentage of MuleSoft or Tableau revenue attributable to on‑premise deployments; revenue is reported by service offering (e.g., Integration/Analytics or “Data”) but without an on‑premises vs. cloud split.

Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed the median ramp time for new sales representatives (time to quota) — particularly for hires selling AgentForce — and if so what median ramp time (days or months) was reported and where?
A: No. As of 2025‑12‑03 Salesforce has not publicly reported a numeric “median ramp time” (time‑to‑quota) specifically for new sales hires selling Agentforce. Salesforce’s public Agentforce pages (ROI/roi‑calculator, Agentic Enterprise Index, and sales transformation materials) describe ramping concepts, time‑savings, and pilot metrics but do not state a median days/months‑to‑quota for new sales reps selling Agentforce. Sources that show available public claims but not a median figure: Salesforce Agentforce ROI/Calculator and Agentic Enterprise Index/Agentforce pages. (salesforce.com)
What would confirm it: an explicit Salesforce disclosure (press release, white paper, or State of Sales/benchmarks report) listing “median ramp time” for reps selling Agentforce.
Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed the median number of days between deal close and production (close→production) for AgentForce deals, and if so what median number of days was reported and in what source?
A: No — as of 2025‑12‑03 Salesforce has not publicly disclosed a company‑level median number of days from deal close to production for Agentforce deals. Salesforce filings and public posts report deal counts, customer wins, and some deployment anecdotes (e.g., customers in production, numbers of deals/clients) but do not publish a median close→production metric.

Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed the typical discount incidence or average discount rate applied to AgentForce deals (for example average percent off list), and if so what discount metrics were reported and where?
A: No — as of 2025‑12‑03 Salesforce has not publicly reported a typical discount incidence or an “average percent off list” for Agentforce deals. Salesforce’s Agentforce press releases and product announcements describe pricing models, flexible options and customer uptake but do not disclose average discount rates; earnings transcripts/SEC filings likewise discuss Agentforce revenue/ARR and adoption without publishing per‑deal discount metrics.

Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed average professional‑services hours per AgentForce deal and professional‑services revenue as a percentage of AgentForce‑related bookings, and if so what figures were provided and in which public filings or presentations?
A: No — Salesforce has not publicly disclosed (through 2025‑12‑03) an average professional‑services hours-per‑Agentforce‑deal metric nor a professional‑services‑revenue percentage specifically tied to Agentforce bookings. Public filings and presentations report Agentforce adoption (paid deals/ARR/bookings) and consolidated professional‑services revenue (professional services and other ≈5–6% of total revenue), but do not break PS hours or PS % by Agentforce product.

Q: Has Salesforce published a formal buyback policy or a 'Buyback Waterfall & AI‑Monetization Dashboard' that (a) caps quarterly repurchases to amounts covered by trailing‑12‑month operating cash‑flow growth versus management guidance, and (b) requires pausing repurchases if specified AgentForce cohort KPIs (for example trial→paid conversion rate, ARR per paid deal, or median time‑to‑production) miss preset thresholds? If so, cite the document and the policy details.
A: No. As of 2025-12-03 there is no publicly posted Salesforce document establishing a formal “buyback waterfall” that (a) caps quarterly repurchases to amounts equal to trailing‑12‑month operating‑cash‑flow growth versus management guidance, nor (b) mandates pausing repurchases tied to specific “AgentForce” cohort KPIs (trial→paid conversion, ARR per paid deal, time‑to‑production).

[Strength] For investors: Salesforce's token scale (they "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens." [ref:Q3CC "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens."]) creates room for engineering levers that can materially compress LLM unit costs (caching, batching, quantization/distillation, hybrid local vs vendor routing, spot/commit arbitrage). Ask management to disclose operational telemetry proving those levers: cache‑hit rate (% calls avoided), average tokens per LLM call, % inference self‑hosted vs third‑party, p95 LLM latency, model failover MTTR, and committed vs spot pricing mix to validate margin durability.

Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed operational telemetry for its LLM/AgentForce infrastructure—specifically cache‑hit rate (percent of calls avoided), average tokens per LLM call, percent of inference self‑hosted versus third‑party, p95 LLM inference latency, model‑failover mean time to recovery (MTTR), and the mix of committed versus spot pricing for LLM capacity? If so, cite the source(s) and reported figures.
A: Short answer: Partially — Salesforce has publicly described some operational telemetry patterns for Agentforce/LLM infrastructure (cache hit ratios, caching benefits, failover design, availability claims, and aggregate token volume), but it has not published the complete set of numeric metrics you asked for (per‑call cache‑hit % explicitly, average tokens per LLM call, percent inference self‑hosted vs third‑party, p95 LLM inference latency as an end‑to‑end SLI, model‑failover MTTR, or committed vs spot capacity mix). See examples below:
- Cache / caching impact, L1/L2 hit‑ratio tracking and measured latency reductions (client L1 reduced ~400 ms metadata fetch to sub‑ms; L2 ~15 ms; overall latency improvement figures cited). (engineering.salesforce.com)
- Failover design, retries, claimed 99.99% availability and automatic model failover (design/observability practices described; no MTTR number). (salesforce.com)
- Aggregate token volume (Agentforce “3.2 trillion tokens” in Q3 Fiscal 2026 release) — but no published average tokens/call or provider mix. (investor.salesforce.com)
These sources do not provide the specific numeric fields you requested; if public disclosure exists it was not found in Salesforce engineering/blog/investor materials through 2025‑12‑03.

[Strength] For investors: mgmt disclosed a material GTM capacity ramp that can drive scalable AOV/efficiency — "We have now today 20% more capacity in place We're going to finish the year with 15% more capacity enabled." [ref:Q3CC "We have now today 20% more capacity in place We're going to finish the year with 15% more capacity enabled."] Require quarterly sales‑execution KPIs: AgentForce win‑rate vs legacy SKUs; median sales cycle by deal size & channel (direct vs SI/partner); ARR‑per‑quota‑carrying rep and PS $ per paid deal to validate durable monetization.

Q: When management said 'we have now today 20% more capacity in place,' has Salesforce publicly broken down that 20% capacity increase by role (e.g., number of net new quota‑carrying account executives, SDRs, customer success managers, solutions engineers) or by full‑time‑equivalent counts? If so, provide the role‑level counts or percentages and citation(s).
A: No. Salesforce’s public commentary quantified overall distribution capacity growth and AE headcount (e.g., “today we have 13,000 AEs” and management guidance to ~22% AE/distribution capacity growth), but Salesforce has not published a role‑level breakdown (net new quota‑carrying AEs, SDRs, CSMs, SEs or FTE counts by role) for the “20% more capacity” statement in its earnings materials or press releases through 2025‑12‑03. (m.investing.com)
What would confirm a role‑level breakdown: an investor‑relations release, earnings transcript slide, or SEC filing listing hires/FTEs by role.
Assumption: I searched Salesforce public earnings releases and call transcripts through 2025‑12‑03 and found AE counts but no published role‑by‑role headcount breakdown for the cited capacity increase.

[Strength] For investors: management’s disclosed scale (Salesforce "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens." [ref:Q3CC "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens."] and "public sector solutions ARR also grew 50% year over year in Q3" [ref:Q3CC "public sector solutions ARR also grew 50% year over year in Q3"]) makes a standardized quarterly AI‑governance dashboard feasible — demand a minimal KPI pack (DPIAs completed; % deployments with human‑in‑loop; LLM‑vendor concentration %; % deterministic vs LLM routing; incidents & remediation reserves; % ARR from regulated customers) and tie next buyback tranche release to delivery for two consecutive quarters.
Falsifier: dashboard published two quarters running (Confidence: Med)
Judge
Speculation Score: 0.3 | Quantification Score: 0.0 (lower is better)
Transcript substantiates 3.2T tokens and 50% public‑sector ARR; KPI pack request is reasonable. Tying buyback tranches is prescriptive—governance feasibility unstated.
[Strength] For investors: Expansion-led bookings look like a customer‑success flywheel but need operational proof; demand quarterly cohort CS KPIs — % paid deals reaching production, median time‑to‑production, PS hours per paid deal, active‑agent usage per paid deal, product‑level NDR and churn of AgentForce adopters — map sequential improvement to re‑rating thresholds. Management already notes "more than 50% of agent force bookings came from customers refilling the tanks."

Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed average active‑agent usage per paid AgentForce customer (for example, active agents per customer or actions/messages processed per month per paid deal)? If so, where and what metrics or figures were reported?
A: No — as of 2025‑12‑03 Salesforce has not publicly reported an “average active‑agent per paid AgentForce customer” (or a per‑paid‑deal actions/messages‑per‑month figure). Salesforce’s public materials (release notes and earnings/transcript disclosures) discuss Agentforce adoption, deal counts, aggregate interactions and site/case volumes (e.g., Help portal sessions/cases, AI deal counts) but do not publish an average active‑agents‑per‑customer or per‑deal monthly message/action metric. (es.scribd.com)
[Risk] For investors: demand a formal buyback guardrail — require management to commit repurchases pause if operating cash flow growth falls below its guide “approximately 13% to 14%” [post:0_11], and require quarterly disclosure of ARR/paid‑deal and LLM/compute spend (% revenue) so markets can stress‑test monetization anchored to disclosed anchors “Data Cloud & AI annual recurring revenue exceeded $1.2 billion…and >12,500 deals since launch and >6,000 paid deals” [ref:Q3CC "Data Cloud & AI annual recurring revenue exceeded $1.2 billion, up 120% Y/Y...Salesforce reported >12,500 deals since launch and >6,000 paid deals; many large deals included Data Cloud + AI."] {Conf: Med}
Falsifier: publish ARR/paid‑deal + OCF trigger
Judge
Speculation Score: 0.3 | Quantification Score: 0.0 (lower is better)
Well anchored to transcript/guidance (OCF 13–14%, Data Cloud ARR>$1.2B, >6k paid deals); assumes management would accept a formal buyback pause.
[Risk] Rising policy rates and a stronger USD are key macro tail‑risks to Salesforce’s buyback + AI monetization story; for investors: demand management disclose explicit sensitivities of subscription revenue/cRPO and operating cash flow to rate and FX moves, and monitor leading indicators (policy rate path, 10‑yr yield, USD index, ISM/PMI services, corporate IT capex announcements and SI/RFP velocity); model outcomes where OCF underperforms the company’s “approximately 12%–13% Y/Y” guide [ref:Q3CC "operating cash flow growth guidance raised to approximately 12% to 13% Y/Y."]

Anchors to company OCF guidance and multiple peer calls on FX/macro risk; linking policy rates/USD to buyback is plausible but inferential.
[Risk] For investors: selling friction (complex SKUs/AELAs, pricing/legal negotiation, heavy PS credits) can stall pilot→paid conversion and compress realized margins — require deal‑level KPIs: % pilots stalled at quote/pricing, avg discount/credits per AgentForce deal, % deals needing bespoke legal/data terms, median contract→production days, % reps trained & % reps hitting quota to assess true ARR quality vs reported bookings; mgmt said "we have now today 20% more capacity in place" [ref:Q3CC "we have now today 20% more capacity in place"].
Falsifier: publish pilot→quote stall % (Confidence: Med)
Judge
Speculation Score: 0.3 | Quantification Score: 0.0 (lower is better)
Supported by mgmt's 20% capacity remark and peer evidence of complex SKUs/PS; claim that friction will stall conversion is plausible but inferential (needs cohort KPIs).
[Risk] AgentForce creates a high operational blast‑radius because it performs write actions ("updating the opportunities, creating a case, handling service inquiry" [ref:Q3CC "updating the opportunities, creating a case, handling service inquiry"]) at massive scale ("process more than 3.2 trillion tokens." [ref:Q3CC "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens."]); mechanism: vendor/model outage or a model regression → automated writes/data corruption → regulatory exposure, SLA credits and churn; For investors: demand disclosure of AgentForce SLOs/LLM‑gateway uptime, Sev1/2 incident counts tied to AgentForce, % automated write‑actions, rollback/audit controls, avg MTTR and customer‑impact footprint.

[Risk] Management emphasizes large, high‑value wins which can mask revenue concentration and survivorship bias — company noted “>60 deals in Q2 > $1 million that include Data Cloud and AI; Service and Platform present in all Q2 Top 10 deals.” [ref:Q3CC " >60 deals in Q2 > $1 million that include Data Cloud and AI; Service and Platform present in all Q2 Top 10 deals."] Mechanism: a handful of mega‑wins can inflate ARR/CRPO while hiding weak trial→paid conversion, heavy PS work, and fragility in broader customer base. For investors: demand % of Data Cloud/AgentForce ARR from Top‑10/Top‑50 customers, product‑level NDR for those cohorts, and % bookings from >$1M deals to stress concentration exposure.

3.2T tokens and 32T records are transcript‑sourced; the climate/supplier‑exposure claim is plausible but inferential—requires kWh/emissions and supplier data to quantify.
[Strength] For investors: management materially expanded selling capacity — "we have now today 20% more capacity in place" [ref:Q3CC "we have now today 20% more capacity in place"]; this is a high‑leverage GTM multiplier for AgentForce/Data Cloud — demand mgmt publish ARR (and pipeline) per AE and ARR‑per‑activated AgentForce customer by cohort as an early, trackable signal that rep ramps are translating to durable revenue.
Falsifier: publish ARR/pipeline per AE by cohort (Confidence: Med)

20% capacity claim is transcript‑sourced; recommendation to request ARR/AE and ARR‑per‑AgentForce cohorts is sensible but prescriptive (not disclosed today).
[Risk] The scale of Data Cloud & AgentForce creates a plausible vertical‑foreclosure antitrust vector — control of customer data + LLM gateway + Informatica integration can enable tying, exclusivity or refusal‑to‑deal (mechanism: data access + model‑training rights + distribution); For investors: demand redacted summaries of material vendor/Informatica agreements (exclusivity/MFN/rev‑share/data‑access/termination/training rights), quarterly % AgentForce/LLM traffic by provider, and a covenant requiring an independent antitrust opinion if restrictive clauses appear [ref:Q3CC "Data Cloud & AI annual recurring revenue exceeded $1.2 billion, up 120% Y/Y."][ref:Q3CC "process more than 3.2 trillion tokens."]

Q: Has Salesforce publicly disclosed the quarterly percentage split of AgentForce/LLM inference traffic or usage by LLM provider (for example percent routed to OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Salesforce self‑hosted models, or other providers)? If so, provide the percentages and source(s).
A: No — as of Dec 3, 2025 Salesforce has not publicly published quarterly percentage splits of Agentforce/LLM inference traffic by provider (e.g., percent routed to OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Salesforce‑hosted). Salesforce documents supported providers, failover/geo‑routing behavior, and partnerships (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Vertex/Azure/Bedrock), but I found no official quarterly traffic or percent‑by‑provider disclosures in Salesforce press releases, Agentforce product docs, or Trust/Investor materials. Sources: Salesforce Agentforce supported models & docs; Agentforce 3 / Anthropic partnership press releases; Agentforce failover design blog — none contain provider percentage breakdowns. (developer.salesforce.com)
What would confirm it: an official Salesforce disclosure (press release, investor filing, technical whitepaper, or Trust/Transparency report) showing provider traffic percentages.
