Key Insights Summary
[!IMPORTANT] Governing interpretation: Prioritization is anchored to owned transaction outcomes (search-to-booking, payment success, booking continuity, supportability, reconciliation, and governed commercial controls).
📋 Detailed Insights
- Feature Pillars: Search and discovery, comparison quality, checkout/payment integrity, booking lifecycle continuity, commercial controls, support operations, and reporting/auditability.
- Prioritization Model: Weighted multi-factor scoring remains valid, but with v3 outcome weights and role-aware operations impact.
- Revenue Acceleration: Framed around transaction-linked yield, conversion quality, support containment, and commercially governed promotion surfaces.
- AI Positioning: AI is documented as a strategic later-by-default layer and must not be used to downgrade current-scope platform obligations.
