REVENUE
AUDIT.
A three-bedroom desert villa is earning like a Standard listing. The comp set says it belongs a tier higher, and there's a measurable gap in between.

The subject sits 31% below the Premium-tier median RevPAR of its own comp set, not a market problem, a positioning problem. The demand exists; the listing isn't being seen at the tier it can hold.
03What it would take. Five levers
We don't start with price. Price is the last lever. Value comes first, and the market sets the number from there.

Note the ADR moves only modestly. The lift is the market re-rating the listing once it's seen at its true tier. We build the value; they choose what it's worth.
Illustrative of the calibration principle on a representative property. Figures reconcile to the documented 45% median lift, net of market, across 19 engagements. Not a promise of a specific tier. Every property is audited individually before any target is set.
