In downturns, work management tools face budget scrutiny as 'nice-to-have' versus mission-critical infrastructure.

However, large enterprise deployments (>1,000 seats) demonstrate stickier behavior due to workflow entrenchment and switching costs.

Rising rates create dual pressure: (1) Valuation compression as investors discount future cash flows at higher rates, particularly punitive for unprofitable growth companies trading at 2-3x forward revenue; (2) Customer budget constraints as corporate borrowing costs increase and CFOs scrutinize discretionary software spend. The stock's -70% drawdown partially reflects multiple compression from 15-20x sales (2021 peak) to current 2.3x as 10-year yields rose from 1.5% to 4%+ range.
