Treats any quality certificate as a guarantee of perfect service or an operating licence.
A certificate has a particular standard and scope; licensing, classification and individual guest outcomes are separate questions.
What to do instead
Read the certificate scope and verify applicable authoritative requirements instead of expanding its meaning.
Uses rooms sold as the denominator for RevPAR.
The average daily rate and revenue per available room use different denominators, so a remembered formula is applied to the wrong measure.
What to do instead
