Measured
A captured reading from an approved source and method.
Methodology
Trust is part of the interface.
Every material city tourism finding keeps the source, publisher, collection date, method, evidence state, confidence, and limitation close to the decision it supports. Known gaps stay visible.
Evidence states
What the room knows and what it does not.
Derived
A transparent calculation whose inputs remain inspectable.
Illustrative
Scenario content used to demonstrate a decision before live city evidence is connected.
Data needed
An unresolved question that the current evidence cannot settle.
Outside-in boundary
Fresh insight beyond the city's existing reports.
Public search, web, PageSpeed, AI answer, official publication, and approved cohort evidence can identify gaps and support bounded city tests. Analyst-led work can use those sources today.
Claim boundary
Not proof of bookings, spend, incrementality, or local economic benefit.
Without approved internal analytics or licensed datasets, Tourism Room does not infer actual visitation, revenue, campaign return, traveler identity, causality, or local-value retention. An improvement in AI mentions alone does not establish those outcomes.
