The problem with prose
Two paragraphs written by two marketing teams cannot be compared, however carefully you read them. They use different words for the same thing and the same word for different things, and both omit whatever is least flattering.
Structure is the only way out: the same fields, for every programme, resolved the same way — including the field that says nobody has told us.
The fields that carry the weight
- Itemised inclusions, counted rather than summarised
- Itemised exclusions, which almost nobody publishes
- Price with its basis, occupancy, tax position and construction
- Supervision — the field that varies most between programmes that look alike
- Whether a daily schedule is published at all
- When the record was last checked, and what was not assessed
Why "not stated" is its own answer
If a provider has not mentioned airport transfers, the honest cell says so. It does not say "no". A missing fact and an excluded item are different, and merging them would flatter whichever provider disclosed least — which is exactly backwards.
