A night we did not measure is absent from the table — we never show a zero in place of missing data.

Not a competitor list — You do not choose five rivals to track. We read the whole town, so the market is what it is, not what you selected.

How we measure this
You cannot get a wrong number out of it. A night we could not measure stays empty — never zero, never smoothed, never estimated.
Sold-out places are counted separately
A median over 30 places and a median over 208 places are not the same claim, which is why the count sits next to every figure.
Events describe the night, not the cause
The percentage compares that night's median with the same weekdays around it — a weekend is 5–20% above midweek by itself. We publish the number and state plainly that we are not claiming the event caused it.
A thin measurement is not published at all
A city-month needs at least 30 places and 15 measured nights before it gets a public page. Below that we say “not enough measured yet” rather than publish a shaky number.
Every figure carries its date
“199 places answered · priced 14 Jun 2026.” That line is the most valuable sentence on the page, and it is sized like it.
What this page does not say
Not a channel manager
We cannot change anyone's price and never will. You set prices in your own extranet. We are a briefing, not a control panel.
Not a forecast
We never say “prices will rise”. We say what is being asked today for a future night. Nothing on screen is predicted.
Not a competitor list
You do not choose five rivals to track. We read the whole town, so the market is what it is, not what you selected.
Not transaction data
These are asking prices — what places want — not what rooms sold for. We say so on the page.
