Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2016 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, and that management treats this as validation. Scan the transcript for any mention of competitors copying, industry convergence, or others following their lead. The call discusses portfolio performance, renovations, refinancing, acquisitions, and market conditions. There is no mention of competitors adopting their approach, or industry standards converging on their methods. Management talks about their own strategies and asset management practices, but not about others imitating them. They mention being a market leader in some metrics (e.g., Whitehall number three in Houston), but that's not about others copying. They also discuss new supply in markets as a challenge, not as following their lead. No indication of the phenomenon described. Thus answer NO.
