Missing resort data remain eligible: unavailable evidence is omitted and confidence falls instead of the resort receiving a zero.

How Benchmark works
Priorities determine the structural ranking; optional trip context refines those priorities without excluding a resort. Evidence describes data support, Stability tests nearby priority changes, and Frontier marks a non-dominated option on comparable evidence.
Trip contextOptional
Use these only when they matter for this trip. They adjust ranking and interpretation; they are not hidden filters.
Les Crosets narrowly leads because of strong terrain match · 85/100 — led by strong terrain profile and substantial ski-area scale; partial evidence, solid reliability match · 58/100 — led by strong snow resilience. Chamonix is the strongest alternative. 4 options remain on the Pareto frontier. 4 options have limited evidence coverage.

Resort overview
Trip match is profile-specific. Expand the calculation to see exactly how each score is built.
Fit remains the structural anchor. Current opportunity receives weight only when current evidence is available, covered and fresh; otherwise Decision falls back toward Fit.
Missing evidence is unknown, never zero. Available dimensions are rescaled to 100%; evidence coverage remains visible separately.
