How it works
The free scan finds smoke. The Decision Card tests the fire.
- 01
Send the signal documents
Start with a P&L and STR summary, not a full data room.
- 02
We find the exceptions
The review isolates inconsistencies, missing support, market disconnects, and questions that require human judgment.
- 03
Choose the next decision
Use the scan to decide whether to stop, investigate further, commission a Decision Card, or scope an operating plan.

Existing hotels
Find the bleed between budget, forecast, and market reality.
Ownership sets the budget. Revenue management, sales, and the GM build the forecast. Assets Compass tests the gap against the hotel’s own DNA—market, positioning, cost structure, labor, channel mix, sales production, and revenue-management discipline—then turns the findings into a prioritized strategic plan.
- Trace the variance by revenue and cost driver.
- Separate an execution gap from an unrealistic budget.
- Reset revenue, sales, marketing, labor, and spend priorities.
- Build an aggressive but achievable path to meet or exceed goals—or document why the current goal cannot be met.
The trio behind the numbers
Score the leaders, not just the ledger.
The GM, the Director of Sales & Marketing, and revenue management make or break a hotel’s results — the wrong players in place show in the numbers. The health check scores each leader on evidence: the GM’s P&L ownership and forecast discipline, the DOSM’s production across group, business transient, and leisure, and revenue management’s rate positioning and comp-set discipline. It also tests whether the management company itself earns its fee stack for this asset. And it names the tenure trap plainly: management companies showcase ‘the right team’ to protect the contract while avoiding turnover that would be a bad look — but keeping the wrong leaders in place taxes every quarter in lost revenue. The assessment closes with a clear, evidence-backed recommendation: coach, replace, or change the operator.
From signal to sustained performance.

The diagnostic identifies the leak. A scoped implementation plan turns it into accountable action. Ongoing review keeps the forecast, budget, and market from drifting apart.
Operator judgment
Thirty years in the room where hotel decisions get made.
34+ hotels advised through Saffire Hospitality since 2020 across the US and Europe.
Retained by Finansbank as due-diligence consultant on the Swissotel Istanbul purchase.
Worked directly with Hillside Su’s owner from 2002–2005, from planning through sale.
Helped convert a historic building into a branded Hilton asset.
AI organizes the evidence. Experienced judgment decides what it means.
Global by design. Regional by rollout.
Phase 1
North America + Europe
Launch coverage
Phase 2
Mediterranean + Middle East
Expansion after the method and data partnerships are proven
Phase 3
Far East
Expansion with local market and data partners
The framework is portable; accounting conventions, legal structures, data depth, currencies, languages, and market norms are not. Coverage expands only when local evidence and review standards are ready.
Questions
Before you send anything.
Is the free scan a full underwriting?
No. It is a limited red-flag screen of a P&L and STR summary. It finds smoke; it does not replace diligence or produce an investment verdict.
What does the 30-minute promise mean?
It refers to the focused analyst review after the required documents are accepted. Delivery is within two business days.
Does AI make the decision?
No. AI helps organize and test the information. A senior hotelier reviews the exceptions and makes the final call on paid work.
What documents do you need?
For the free scan: a recent P&L and STR summary. Full underwriting may require additional financial, physical, legal, and operating documents.
Which properties qualify?
The investor scan is for hotel or condotel opportunities of $10M or more. Existing-hotel health checks are scoped separately.
Is my information confidential?
The intake includes a short confidentiality acknowledgment. A production launch must use approved secure storage, restricted access, retention rules, and a final legal review.
Is this investment advice?
No. Assets Compass provides hospitality analysis and decision support. Investors remain responsible for legal, tax, financing, and investment decisions.
