Distribution and loyalty strength are observational benchmarks. Brand standards intensity,
owner flexibility and CAPEX intensity are general market observations and vary by
sub-brand, market, agreement structure and project type. Always confirm commercial terms,
acceptance criteria and technical requirements directly with the brand before making any
investment or operator decision.
