Methodology

312 publicly-visible reviews from Booking, Google, and TripAdvisor, last 12 months. Clusters extracted with an LLM and verified against original review text. We never submit a booking on your behalf and never receive commission from this report.

About this design. Single-purpose tool aesthetic — monospace, warning-yellow hero, blunt verbal voice. The lookup is the entire surface; everything else is report output. Deliberately uncomfortable to suggest "we'll tell you what nobody else will."

Why this archetype (EXPLORATION.md §3.C): viral mechanic, narrow scope, easy to ship. Risks: thin standalone product, harder to monetise, potential industry hostility.
