Job brief
How and who for the hotel job—verified when attested.
Usable on this screen
Evidence is a file, not a feeling. Arrival vs rooms-board. Payroll vs occupancy. Ticket age. If you cannot show it without a guest name, it is not evidence Harbor will store.
Step 1
Timestamps, counts, or signed sheets. Not a review screenshot with a guest in it.
Step 2
Start date, end date, and the desk that owns the extract.
Step 3
Seasonality, a renovation, an agent that is not allowed to mark clean.
Step 4
A meeting that remembers the week is not a log. If the night audit cannot produce it, the packet stays claimed.

Leave a record
Harbor by Signalry stays hotels only. A description, a claim, and a reported result each leave a stable id behind. Nothing here is a price, a customer, or a verification.
Buyer
No account. Harbor by Signalry opens the closest catalog brief, when not to buy, and a shortlist. A weak sentence stays on the catalog.
Open a briefSupplier
Company, jobs served, regions, and a hotel reference. The packet is queued as unverified pending. The form cannot mark it verified.
Start a claimHotel
A metric, before and after, and the dates. It is shown as reported until a person checks the evidence. Verified Outcome is not insurance.
Record a resultAdviceVerified requires evidence a stranger could inspect.
Situation
When I say a job is done, I want a log someone who does not work here could read — so 'verified' is not a slogan.

Decision worksheet
Take this to a vendor call. Budget bands are Advice — a Harbor shape, not a quote.
Ask the vendor
Red flags
When not to buy. Do not hire a storyteller if the night audit cannot produce the extract. Write the extract first.
Do it in-house
Time and a named owner. No vendor. Use the 7-day plan first.
In-house time
Typical Harbor band for this job — advice, not a quote.
Full program
People + system + 90-day proof. Only if the 7-day plan already failed.
Vendor checklist
Weighted questions — yes/no, scale, or text. Must-pass ids persist on this browser. Pass threshold 70. A no on a must-pass is a walk-away — not a maybe.

Can they name your key count and whether you are independent, soft-brand, or major — without a discovery theater?

Do they treat your PMS as a shape (Opera-class / Mews-class / Cloudbeds-class) — not a fake partnership slide?
