Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2019 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO. Need analyze transcript. Question: Does management describe that the company's way of doing things is being adopted/copied/moved toward by others in market? Need find in transcript. Management talks about career readiness, enrollment growth, etc. Any mention of others following? Let's scan. Nate Davis: "We're moving fast to be the leader in career education..." That's claim leader, not others adopting. "We're very excited about initial results." No. "Overall, the potential for blended and online enrollment growth looks bright..." Not about others copying. FuelEd/Modern Teacher: "we will connect school districts to digital learning tools..." Not others adopting. No mention of competitors copying. Maybe "greater acceptance of online education" macro trends, but not company's way being adopted. "We believe that this demand reflects the on growing macro trends have greater acceptance of online education." That's general trend, not imitation. Question asks specifically: Does management describe that the way this company does things is now being adopted, copied, or moved toward by others? No. Management claims leadership, but no concrete others following. Answer NO.
