Winning is getting easier: management describes the effort needed to land each new piece of business visibly falling, wi
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2022 call → NOWe need to determine if management conveys that winning business has become easier than in the past, with real recent proof, and still in effect. The transcript discusses growth, recruiting, M&A, but does it specifically say that winning business (e.g., getting physicians to join, getting contracts) is easier now than before? There is mention of physician recruiting: "Our physician recruiting team has been meeting the increased demand for new physicians... we added 100 new physicians... each of our recruiting cohorts continue to drive strong year-over-year growth... the average net revenue per physician in the 2022 cohort is already 55% more than the very strong 2021 cohort." This suggests that new recruits are more productive, but does it say it's easier to win them? There is also mention of "the transition of procedures out of traditional acute care inpatient settings continues to accelerate." That's about market shift, not necessarily easier for the company. There is no explicit comparison that winning business is easier now than before. The company talks about strong results, but not about reduced effort or faster cycles. The closest might be that physicians are more willing to join because of the environment, but that's not a direct statement of ease. Also, the easing is attributed to the company's model, but no contrast with past difficulty. So answer NO.
