Every finding earns its place.

One real audit finding, traced back to listing data, market context, calculation, and recommendation.

A finding is only delivered when it can answer four questions: what supports it, what changes, where it changes, and when it is done.

From an anonymised UK audit · pricing support check (US calibration example coming after our California cohort)

Cleaning fee (£25^L) is 11%^C of nightly rate (£234^L), within the competitive range^M. You also charge £25 per extra guest^L. Concrete fix: remove the extra-guest fee and raise base nightly rate from £234 to £259^R. That keeps typical 3-guest revenue roughly neutral while simplifying the fee display.

Listing.Read from your Airbnb URL: cleaning fee, nightly rate, extra-guest fee.

Market.Comp-set average for similar properties in your locality.

Calculation.Deterministic: £25 ÷ £234 = 10.7%, rounded to 11%.

The pass is a deletion step, not a confirmation step. Findings that pass automatic deletion can still be cut by the consultant. Nothing is added that the data doesn't support.

What the audit doesn't do.

Access: The audit reads your public listing and the context you provide. It does not see your bookings calendar, inbox, or reviews on other platforms.
Data: Market data has gaps. Thin comp-sets and weak seasonal signals are labelled; over-confident findings are reviewed before delivery.
Scope: The framework is calibrated for US short-term rental hosting. Not yet designed for listings outside the US, or for long-term rentals, hotel operations, or Airbnb Experiences.
Refund: If your listing is outside scope, Alzando flags it and refunds you.
