Caveats

  • Public Airbnb Bangkok snapshot (2025-09-26) — OTA industry analogue, not Agoda inventory.
  • Score weights are working assumptions; sensitivity explores alternatives that sum to 100.
  • Association between content score and reviews is not causal impact.
  • The value 8,908 is a modelled review proxy, never an observed booking or revenue outcome.
  • Offline artifact: no CDN scripts or stylesheets.
