Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2022 call → NOWe need to answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: does management describe that the company's way of doing things is now being adopted, copied, or moved toward by others in its market? We need to find if management says competitors or others are following their lead, or that their approach is becoming the market's way. The transcript is about Chemed Corporation's Q3 2022 earnings call. The two segments are VITAS (hospice) and Roto-Rooter (plumbing/drain cleaning). Management discusses hiring and retention programs, community access initiative, etc. There is no mention of competitors copying or adopting their methods. They talk about their own initiatives, but nothing about others following. They mention industry-wide shortage of licensed health care workers, but that's not about others copying their approach. They talk about their own success, but no mention of imitation. So answer NO.
