What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-LRO-2026-011 · Evidence A · P1

In Expedia's randomized-ranking sample, click and booking probabilities decline materially with lower position; a modeled consumer-surplus ranking would outperform Expedia's ranking by $1.205 consumer surplus and $0.084 platform revenue per impression.

What this does not establish

Ranking position is randomized in an OTA hotel choice set, not Google Maps or organic local search; optimized-ranking gains are structural-model simulations, not a deployed field-test lift or an effect of review count.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Ranking strongly shapes discovery, but maximizing platform revenue alone lowers modeled consumer surplus by $0.3826; a simple utility ranking also loses $0.1520 revenue versus Expedia.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, channel changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
