Job brief

Turn an intent into an underwriting packet

How and who for the hotel job—verified when attested.

When I have a claim and a price, I want a structured packet a future underwriter could refuse — so we stop talking in slogans.

Usable on this screen

Scoped brief

The form writes locally. The API stub echoes. Export JSON. That is v1. A licensed desk is a later company problem, not a checkbox on this page.

Outcome
JSON: claim, evidence, caveat, criteria, price, persona, stack. Status is demand-signal. licensed is false.
Catalog budget band
Zero premium — the packet is the product today. A worksheet range, not a quote.
Catalog timeline
Fifteen minutes on /verified-outcomes. Not a promise.

  1. Step 1

    Fill claim → evidence → caveat → price

    Missing evidence drops the packet to advice or claimed. Harbor will label it.

  2. Step 2

    Export the packet

    harbor-underwriting-packet.json. Keep it with the house. Do not put folio text in it.

  3. Step 3

    Sit a pilot if you want a longer read

    The 30-minute sit on /pilots is how a design partner corrects the how.

  4. Step 4

    Refuse the packet if it reads like a policy

    licensed:false on the same page as the price. A prettier button that implies cover fails the brand.

The next hotel starts from what you leave

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.

Decision worksheet

Questions, red flags, bands

Take this to a vendor call. Budget bands are Advice — a Harbor shape, not a quote.

Ask the vendor

  1. 1. Who types the status / number — a person, or your product?
  2. 2. What would have happened anyway in 90 days without you?
  3. 3. Show a property of this size and stack. Demo-labeled categories do not count as proof.
  4. 4. What can your agent never do (folio post, mark clean, change a rate)?
  5. 5. What is the kill-switch if guest comments move?

Red flags

  • · Calling licensed:false a quote.
  • · PII in the packet.
  • · Inventing a loss ratio.

When not to buy. Do not POST guest names to /api/outcomes. The stub will reject the language and Harbor will not keep the file.

Do it in-house

Time and a named owner. No vendor. Use the 7-day plan first.

Zero premium — the packet is the product today

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.

  1. property context · weight 2 · must pass

    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?

How

The brief

The form writes locally. The API stub echoes. Export JSON. That is v1. A licensed desk is a later company problem, not a checkbox on this page.

  1. Step 1

    Fill claim → evidence → caveat → price

    Missing evidence drops the packet to advice or claimed. Harbor will label it.

  2. Step 2

    Export the packet

    harbor-underwriting-packet.json. Keep it with the house. Do not put folio text in it.

  3. Step 3

    Sit a pilot if you want a longer read

    The 30-minute sit on /pilots is how a design partner corrects the how.

  4. Step 4

    Refuse the packet if it reads like a policy

    licensed:false on the same page as the price. A prettier button that implies cover fails the brand.

Tradeoffs

Pitfalls

  • · Calling licensed:false a quote.
  • · PII in the packet.

Success criteria

  • · Packet exports with licensed:false.
  • · Evidence level labeled advice, claimed, or verified.
  • · No guest names.

When to pick whom

People do the work beside the desk. Software is a system — demo-labeled when it is a category shape. Agents draft; they do not post money or mark a room clean.
