GAME THEORY
The Network Effect.
In an AI ecosystem, discoverability is binary. You are either the enabled tool, or you are invisible. Aggregation is the only mathematical path to becoming the enabled tool.
USER BEHAVIOR AXIOM
Travelers will enable ONE comprehensive booking capability. They will not enable fifty individual hotel apps.
SCENARIO A: FRAGMENTATION
The Solo Trap
If every hotel group builds their own proprietary AI app, the user burden becomes unsustainable.
User Intent
Compare 5 Hotels
Requirement
Enable 5 Apps
Result
Churn to OTA
SCENARIO B: AGGREGATION
The Collective Win
By aggregating inventory into a single utility (SigTrip), we match the OTA's convenience without their commission.
User Intent
Compare 5 Hotels
Requirement
Enable 1 App
Result
Direct Conversion
STRATEGIC OUTCOMES
Path 1: Hotel Sovereignty
Hotels shape the channel collectively.
- > Data: You own the guest record
- > Cost: SaaS Fee
- > Leverage: High
Path 2: OTA Dominance
OTAs repeat the internet-era playbook.
- > Data: OTA owns the guest
- > Cost: 15-25% Per Booking
- > Leverage: None
