BUY SCORE INTELLIGENCE
Compare the whole purchase, not only the cheapest price
Buy Score is VOYALEX’s deterministic purchase-decision layer for equivalent hotel offers. It combines price position with verified product, seller, cancellation, meal-plan, payment, market and price-accuracy evidence without letting sponsorship influence the result.
LIVE SYSTEM FACTSThe VOYALEX layer running now
01
What question does Buy Score answer?
After VOYALEX has confirmed that offers describe the same canonical hotel, room and relevant conditions, Buy Score compares the quality of the purchase routes rather than re-evaluating which hotel is better.
- It works only on comparable normalized candidates.
- Hotel quality and seller purchase quality remain separate.
- The displayed price is never treated as the whole decision.
02
When is a score produced?
The current engine requires every weighted Buy Score component to have scored evidence. If one component is unknown or insufficient, the final score remains unavailable instead of assigning a synthetic zero.
- Missing seller history is not a penalty invented by the system.
- Incomplete offer identity cannot earn a full score.
- Hard-ineligible or non-organic candidates cannot become recommended simply through scoring.
03
Why is the result explainable?
VOYALEX preserves component states, reasons and supporting evidence alongside the final score so the purchase recommendation can be inspected instead of being treated as an unexplained number.
- Commercial commission is outside the organic formula.
- Payment timing itself is informational; verified instalment value is the differentiator.
- AI may explain supplied evidence but does not alter Buy Score or ranking.
BUY SCORE COMPONENTS
What actually enters Buy Score?
Buy Score is produced from eight deterministic components. A headline price alone cannot complete the decision.
Price advantage
Measures the price position only against comparable versions of the same product.
Offer equivalence
Requires canonical hotel, room and commercial-term identity to be sufficiently complete.
Seller trust
Uses observed operational seller evidence; missing history is not silently converted to a zero.
Meal-plan value
Evaluates the purchase value of the included board basis without inventing external dining costs.
Cancellation flexibility
Reads refundability and, when available, how long free cancellation remains open.
Payment / instalments
Full payment at booking is neutral; verified instalment count, cost and eligibility can differentiate offers.
Market eligibility
Checks whether the purchase route is actually eligible for the active market context.
Price accuracy
Uses verified seller price-match evidence instead of assuming the displayed total is historically accurate.
i
If any Buy Score component is still insufficient, VOYALEX does not replace it with zero: the final Buy Score remains unavailable until the required evidence is complete.
EXPLAINABLE PURCHASE EXAMPLE
The lower price can be only one part of the purchase decision
Two routes can describe the same canonical hotel, room and conditions while differing in price, cancellation and instalment value. Buy Score keeps those dimensions separate before combining them.

WHY THIS MATTERS
VOYALEX does not stop at the TRY 400 difference.
The engine evaluates the price advantage together with the evidence-backed cancellation, payment, seller and market components. The user can inspect why a score exists instead of seeing a black-box recommendation.

BUY SCORE BOUNDARIES
What Buy Score is not
Keeping these boundaries explicit prevents commercial or unrelated hotel-quality signals from quietly entering the purchase score.
Commission or commercial payment does not increase organic Buy Score or ranking.
Hotel Evidence Ranking evaluates the hotel; Buy Score evaluates a purchase route for an already matched product.
Guest review sentiment is not silently converted into a seller purchase score.
Price advantage is one component among the evidence required for the complete purchase decision.
TWO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS
Hotel Evidence and Buy Score stay separate
This separation prevents a strong hotel from automatically making every seller offer strong, or a strong seller from rewriting hotel evidence.
Hotel Evidence Ranking reads identity, guest reality, cleanliness patterns, room/photo consistency, evidence recency and conflicts.
Buy Score compares only equivalent purchase routes using normalized offer, seller, market, price, cancellation, meal-plan and payment evidence.
