The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Monthly order intake decreased year on year for the early fixed-fee model and increased for the success-fee model. The cumulative decline in the success-fee model was attributed to an increase in decisions that consumed the agreed hiring slots under early fixed-fee plans. The increase in the number of offers sent was attributed to an increase in the number of active companies.
