Min prices too low erode RevPAR on soft nights

Recommendation: Lift the min price Mon–Wed and monitor pickup for two weeks before extending.

Cleaning shifts oversized on low-occupancy days
12% of cleaning shifts run on days with <40% occupancy where a lighter turn suffices. Shift cost per occupied night is 1.7× the portfolio median on those days.
Recommendation: Auto-scale shift length to the booking calendar; schedule deep-cleans onto low-occupancy slots instead of extra turns.
