The proprietary intellectual foundation of the Institute.
Every hotel, group, owner, operator, architect, region, transaction and award — interconnected as one editorial knowledge graph maintained to institutional standards. Every report, publication, index and profile ultimately derives from or contributes to this graph.
Foundation release. The database architecture supports the full luxury hospitality entity model — additional categories are phased in editorially over time.

Version 1 — editor-assessed, methodology-published

Each score carries an explanation, confidence rating and methodology version, so the system can evolve from editor assessment to algorithmic computation without changing the public record.
