A moving field, a fixed method
Each edition uses the information available on the calculation date. A hotel becomes eligible only when enough comparable facts are available. Missing information never becomes a negative fact. Ties go to the hotel with the stronger overall score, then higher confidence, broader published coverage, and finally its name.
This edition does not include guest ratings. Those remain outside the formula until comparable live guest data is available.
