The bottleneck is inside and being paid away: internal limits on serving live demand, with removal already funded
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2016 call → NOWe need to determine if management conveys that the main constraint is the company's own capability (capacity, people, facilities, etc.) rather than demand, and that they are already spending real money/effort to remove that limit with waiting business visible. The question asks for YES only if all three conditions are present: live demand pressing in, limit is company's own, removal underway. From transcript: They discuss activations of new facilities, expansions. They have idle beds (~3,000 beds). They talk about pursuing opportunities. But is there any indication that demand exceeds their current capacity? They have idle facilities, so they have spare capacity. They mention "improved occupancy" and "ongoing demand" but also have idle facilities. They are not saying they can't serve demand. In fact, they have 3,000 idle beds. So they have capability to serve more. They are pursuing opportunities but not constrained by their own capacity. They also have construction revenue for Ravenhall, but that's a project under construction for future. There's no mention of being unable to meet demand due to own limits. They mention "we continue to have ample borrowing capacity" but that's financial. So they are not constrained. The question asks if "live demand pressing in" - real business exceeds or presses against what they can currently produce. But they have idle beds and are pursuing new business, so they have slack. Therefore answer NO. Let's confirm: They have idle facilities, they are seeking to redeploy them. So they can comfortably serve everything asked. So NO. Thus answer NO.
