Readiness quiz

What does this quiz tell you?

Key Margin research deskSection 08Page 1 of 12

This quiz tests whether your evidence is ready for a consequential owner decision—not whether a hotel is a good investment. It identifies what to investigate next, which documents to request and which unresolved issues should prevent an irreversible commitment.

It is designed principally for owners, family offices, acquisitions teams and hospitality lenders evaluating 30–150-room independent and soft-branded US hotels. That is this desk’s chosen audience, not an industry definition of boutique hotels.

You will receive:

  • A readiness score out of 45.
  • A separate check for issues that override the numerical score.
  • A prioritized research or specialist-diligence next step.

Methodology: The questions, points, thresholds and decision gates are this desk’s original editorial framework. They have not been statistically validated against investment outcomes. Referenced sources support the diligence topics—not the scoring system. This is not an appraisal, legal opinion, engineering assessment, credit approval or recommendation to invest.
