Proof · Georgian Court Hotel, Vancouver

Guests loved it. AI could check six facts.

Georgian Court is a 180-room boutique hotel in downtown Vancouver. It has loyal guests and warm reviews. In July 2026, AI could verify only six facts about it.

When AI cannot check a fact, it guesses or moves on. So the hotel set out to state its facts clearly, in one place, with proof attached. Here is what changed by the end of September.

+38.7%

Direct bookings

1,050 to 1,456 room nights, August 2026 against August 2025. That is 406 more nights booked straight with the hotel, with no middleman taking a cut.

42% to 66%

Overall AI readiness

How easily AI can identify the hotel, check its facts and trust what it finds. It moved from below half to two thirds in under three months.

6 to 290

Facts AI can verify

Each fact now carries a digital seal and a link to its evidence. AI no longer has to guess the hotel’s hours, rooms or policies.

Before and after: the five measures that moved most

Scores out of 100, from ALFIE audits on July 8 and September 29, 2026.

  • Overall AI readiness

    How easily AI can identify the hotel, check its facts and trust them.

  • Authority

    How much AI treats the hotel as the trusted source on itself.

  • Experience

    How clearly the hotel shows what a stay there is really like.

  • Answer readiness

    How easily AI can give a guest a direct, correct answer.

  • Fact ownership

    How many key facts the hotel publishes itself, instead of leaving them to others.

Honest limits

What these numbers do not prove

Good evidence says what it cannot show. Donna says this on stage too.

  • Bookings are hotel-reported.The booking figures come from the hotel’s own records, not an outside audit.
  • The link to AI is still being traced.We cannot yet say how many of the extra bookings came from AI answers. That work is ongoing with the hotel.
  • This is one hotel’s story.It shows what is possible. It does not promise the same result for every business.
  • Readiness scores come from ALFIE audits.The same method was used on both dates, so the before and after compare fairly.
