Claim
Dirty-room mentions halved because inspection became a number.
Evidence
Comment tags vs Monday fail rate for one quarter.
Caveat
Par had to be reset first. Software did not invent a clean sheet.
Situation
Harbor House's bubble was sliding on 'smell' and 'hair in the bath' comments. Inspection existed as a 40-point form no one finished. Afternoon rush rooms were late 18% of the time.
Approach
Hearth & Key walked every room type with the executive housekeeper and cut the inspect to 12 points that actually happened. Housekeep Sequence proposed rush order; the supervisor accepted. Linen par was reset before any culture workshop.
Outcome
Dirty-room mentions dropped 61% in one quarter. Rush-room late rate moved from 18% to 7%. Fail rate is now a Monday number next to occupancy.
“They made inspection a number again. We had been performing a ritual.”
