Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes that others are adopting/copying the company's way of doing things. The transcript is about Charles River Laboratories. Key points: They discuss their CDMO business, safety assessment, etc. They mention that clients are choosing to secure space with take-or-pay arrangements, which is new. They say "We anticipate that additional clients will agree to similar terms to secure space." That's about clients adopting their model? Actually, it's about clients reserving capacity. Not about competitors copying. They also mention that they have a unique pathway with CRADL and Explora. But no mention of competitors copying. They talk about being a partner of choice, but not about others following. They mention that the industry is moving toward outsourcing, but that's a general trend. No specific mention of competitors adopting their approach. So answer NO.
