How a season is read at the table
This page is the working sequence behind the flagship seasonality briefing. It is not software onboarding. It is the order of paper we actually use.
1. The extract, not the slogan
We ask for dated stays. Marketing copy about “peak season in Georgia” is useful only as a claim to test. If the extract is a photo of a paper diary, we still work from it; it simply takes longer and the quote moves.
2. Overlays that belong to this geography
Public holidays, Tbilisi festival weeks, Kakheti picking notes, Adjara heat, and Military Highway closures go onto the same months as your arrivals. A national occupancy printout is not an overlay. It is a rival story.
3. The months you will dispute
Every owner has a month they defend. We mark it early. The closing conversation is mostly that month. If we cannot explain it from the book, the briefing says the book is silent rather than borrowing a neighbour’s occupancy.
4. Two objects leave the table
A bound reading with caveats, and a one-page reception tab without them. Reception should not have to argue with a partner about harvest sugar while checking in a wet guest.
After the pages
If you also keep local occupancy notes on a computer, a companion record-keeping utility is listed through Veve. It does not replace the briefing and does not hold funds.
