Term	What it means	Why it matters
As-Used inventory	Unsold rooms a resort releases flexibly.	The low-commitment way in.
Guaranteed inventory	A commitment-based arrangement with predictable revenue.	For owners who want certainty.
Opaque distribution	Rates shown only inside a password-protected member platform.	Answers worries over rate parity and brand.
BAR / Best Available Rate	The lowest public rate a resort sells on a given date.	The net rate is measured against it.
OTA / Online Travel Agency	A public booking site such as Expedia or Booking.com.	Commission cost and public rates are the contrast.
RCI / Resort Condominiums International	An exchange network that competes with Interval.	An existing tie changes the conversation.
EP / European Plan	Room only, with meals sold separately.	Leaves more room for spend on property.
Keys	Rentable rooms or units.	Sets how large a block can be.
Checked against a public source	We found the fact on a public page we could open.	It is still worth confirming in the meeting.
Indicated by a public source; confirm	A public page points to it, but not fully.	Confirm it before you rely on it.
Our read	Our judgment from the evidence, not a sourced fact.	Treat it as a starting point.
