The first true hotel rating

One transparent score per hotel, from independent recognition propagated through an expert graph and from facility coherence against peers of the same location type. The formula is public, deposited and versioned.

HRI 2.0 = 0.70 x expert recognition + 0.30 x facility coherence, shrunk by confidence, calibrated nightly over 2,656 recognised hotels. Deposited at 10.5281/zenodo.23670609.
