How a dream becomes a defensible plan.
1. Meaning before inventory
Capture the defining experience, desired feeling, people travelling, non-negotiables and deal-breakers before searching suppliers. Inventory must serve the trip rather than define it.
2. Route archetypes, not endless results
Return no more than three distinct approaches. Explain who each is for, the pace, the central compromise and the decision that would eliminate it.
3. Whole-journey logic
Review flight shape, arrival recovery, transfers, accommodation, experience timing, rest, pre/post extensions and the point at which supplier support begins and ends.
4. Evidence and confidence
Every material factual claim should carry a source and date checked. Live price, inventory and booking protection must be reconfirmed at the provider. Unknown is an acceptable state; invented certainty is not.
5. Transparent commercial route
Suitability reasoning is recorded separately from compensation. Monetised links are labelled before interaction. Partner status, merchant of record and customer-support owner are visible.
6. Human escalation
Escalate complex safety, accessibility, medical, regulatory, high-value, family or ambiguous cases to a qualified person or approved partner. An automated plan must never impersonate licensed or destination expertise it does not have.
Candidate scoring model
| Dimension | Review question | Candidate state |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Does the plan protect the defining experience? | Prototype logic |
| Fit | Are party, pace, comfort and constraints reflected? | Prototype logic |
| Journey | Do components join without hidden friction? | Manual verification required |
| Cost | Are inclusions and exclusions comparable? | UNKNOWN — no feeds |
| Responsibility | Is provider and booking ownership clear? | Required before link activation |
| Evidence | Are source, date and unknowns visible? | Required content rule |
