How and who for the hotel job—verified when attested. Advice unless labeled verified. This brief is a worksheet, not an appraisal and not a quote.

## The job

When I am the GM and the revenue manager, I want a morning note I can argue with so pricing is not a Sunday-night spreadsheet or a silent robot.

**Outcome the catalog names:** A 6:15 rate note, an override log, and an RMS that recommends without writing rooms.

**Desk:** owner
**Urgency on the catalog:** This quarter
**Typical budget band (catalog, not a quote):** $6–12/room/month demo RMS shape + a watch agent
**Typical timeline (catalog, not a promise):** 3–6 weeks to a habit

## Scoped brief

Yieldwell-shaped RMS recommends. Ratewatch drafts the comp-set note. The GM or a named clerk applies. Oakridge if mix is the real job. Displacement math is a sister job — do not hide group yeses inside ‘dynamic pricing.’

1. **Make the morning note the product.** What moved, what you will do, what you will not. In the inbox by 6:15.
2. **Log overrides on purpose.** A house that never overrides is not using judgment. A house that always overrides does not need the RMS.
3. **Forbid the RMS to write rooms.** Inventory owner is the CRS or PMS. See the connect-RMS-to-CRS job if that is already broken.
4. **Score silent writes and missing morning notes, not 'the rate looked fine'.** A Tuesday the GM cannot explain is the fail — even if occupancy held.

## When not to buy

A fully automatic rate robot. Silent writes fail Harbor integrity.
