Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2022 call → NOWe need to answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: does management describe that the way this company does things is now being adopted, copied, or moved toward by others in its market? We need to find if management says something like competitors are following their lead, or their approach is becoming common practice, etc. Scan the transcript. Management talks about loan growth, deposit pricing, margin, etc. They mention being disciplined in pricing, not matching crazy pricing from others. They talk about their tax program, PPP loans, etc. But do they say others are adopting their way? I don't see any such statement. They mention that they are disciplined, but not that others are copying them. They mention that they have a strong margin when rates were higher, but that's not about others following. They talk about their own strategy, but no mention of competitors imitating them. The only thing close is when they say "we have seen more 30-year amortizations on real estate" and they are disciplined, but that's about others doing something they don't do, not following them. They also mention that they are not going to match some rates. That's about competitive pressure, not adoption. Thus, no evidence of others adopting their way. Answer NO.
