Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2021 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based only transcript. Need determine if management describes that their way of doing things is being adopted/copied by others in market, validating. Search transcript. Key topics: Observatory, indoor environmental quality, sustainability. Management says "Our industry leadership in this area is widely recognized by the brokerage community and our more than a decade of work in indoor environmental quality and sustainability positions us..." That's claim of leadership/recognition, not necessarily others adopting. Need see if others following. Tony mentions "We have nurtured and enhanced Observatory brand..." No mention competitors copying. Tom Durels: "Healthy buildings and indoor environmental quality remain front of mind for most tenants... Our industry leadership in this area is widely recognized..." That's not describing others adopting. Also "We have been active..." No. Question asks: Does management describe that the way this company does things is now being adopted, copied, or moved toward by others? Need evidence. There is no explicit mention of competitors following. "industry leadership widely recognized" is not enough. Also "we are authentic and iconic" no. No mention of market converging on company's design. So answer NO.
