Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2018 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes that their way of doing things is being adopted, copied, or moved toward by others in the market. The transcript includes discussions about various trends, but we need to find if management explicitly states that others are following their lead. Key points: Management talks about the growth of sequencing, the adoption of NGS, regulatory approvals, and partnerships. They mention that the market is moving toward NGS, but is that because of Illumina's pioneering? They also discuss that they are enabling customers, but not necessarily that competitors are copying them. One potential: They mention that the FDA approval for 23andMe and other direct-to-consumer tests is a positive development, but that's not about copying Illumina's way. They also talk about the market moving toward whole genome sequencing, but that's a general trend. Management does not explicitly say that competitors are adopting their specific methods or that the industry is converging on their design. They talk about their own innovations and partnerships, but not about others imitating them. Thus, answer NO.
