Since and , the interaction isto first order in . The tree-level in-in formalism givesThere are two Wick contractions for each choice of the undifferentiated field at the vertex. With , the stated Bunch-Davies vacuum mode obeysThe two powers of from the differentiated modes cancel , and the remaining integral isRemoving the momentum-conserving delta function, the bispectrum from a time-derivative cubic scalar interaction is therefore
