Appendix

Appendix: How Savings Are Measured

Core Formula

Net Savings = (Direct Group RevenueAfter − Direct Group RevenueBaseline) × (1 − Seasonality Adjustment)

BQ Fee = Net Savings × 5% — applied only to confirmed, audited figures

Definitions

Direct Group Revenue

Room revenue from group bookings made without a wholesaler intermediary

Wholesale Leakage

Revenue lost to intermediary margin on bookings made via OTA/wholesaler

Adoption Rate

% of group RFPs processed through BlockQuote vs total group inquiries

Baseline Period

Trailing 12 months of group segment data, agreed before deployment

Calculation Methods

Method A

Segment Shift

Compare direct vs. wholesale mix before and after. Best for resorts with clean channel segmentation in their PMS.

Method B

Direct Comparison

Default

Compare direct group revenue in matching periods (same dates, prior year). Controlled for seasonality. Our standard pilot method.

Method C

Blended Rate Delta

Track change in blended group rate (ADR) as direct share increases. Useful when channel attribution is incomplete.

What Counts Toward Savings

Group room revenue booked directly through BlockQuote

Wholesale bookings converted to direct via agency portal

Margin recovered from former OTA/wholesaler inventory

Revenue from holds converted within BlockQuote workflow

What Doesn't Count

Overall revenue growth unrelated to channel shift

Price increases not attributable to wholesale reduction

Bookings made outside BlockQuote workflow

Seasonal demand spikes vs. prior year baseline
