Gaps for the next research pass

No property-specific operating accounts, monthly channel data, payroll or bank reconciliations were supplied; the cash-flow comparisons remain illustrative.
No negotiated operator proposals or management agreements were available. A next pass should construct five-year fee waterfalls, transition budgets and counsel-reviewed termination scenarios for actual bidders.
The named-operator comparison establishes published capabilities only. Permissioned comparable-hotel results, owner references, regional workloads and the proposed deployment teams remain unverified.
The affiliation comparison uses selected official 2026 disclosure provisions, not exhaustive cost estimates. Obtain current delivered FDDs and amendments, hotel-specific proposals, all programme charges, technology-transition schedules and priced property-improvement plans.
No licensed destination-level achieved-performance dataset was obtained. Competitive-set validity, property coverage, data-use rights and the independent-versus-affiliated demand counterfactual require further work.
The profitability context uses a clearly dated 2024 operating sample published in 2025; it is not a comprehensive 2026 US boutique-hotel profitability panel.
Current lender quotations, local tax treatment, insurance coverage and deductibles, employment obligations, technical surveys and renovation bids are missing.
No transaction-specific cap-rate evidence or appraisal was commissioned; the document cannot establish a market value or executable bid ceiling.
YouTube discovery identified a relevant publisher-hosted interview with an embedded video, but the direct YouTube page could not be fetched. Qualitative findings rely on the accessible publisher transcript and episode listing.
Buy-side search terms were researched and incorporated, but search volumes, ranking difficulty and buyer willingness to pay were not measured.
3 source URL(s) in this document had restricted retrieval, minimal extractable text or no separate current recheck; source-status labels identify them. Obtain controlling documents or direct confirmation before a transaction-specific use.
