Cost of hesitation just flipped: management describes buyers no longer able to wait out the decision
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2018 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes that buyers have recently lost ability to postpone decision, cost of delay increased, and real behavior showing decisions landing. Need parse transcript. Transcript is Fresenius Medical Care earnings call. Business: dialysis services, products, Care Coordination. Need see if management conveys that counterparties (patients? payers? providers?) have recently faced increased cost of waiting, forcing decisions. Likely not. They discuss Calcimimetics transition, PAMA, ESRD PPS, etc. But question asks about "people who buy from company" losing ability to postpone decision. Could be about patients? No. Management talks about growth, products, services. No mention of customers forced to buy due to rising cost of delay. They mention "we're on track", "solid growth", "products franchise moving". No explicit phenomenon. Need be careful: Maybe "Calcimimetics" transition? That's about drug reimbursement, not buyers. "Care Coordination" etc. No. Answer NO.
