- They want the best value redemption across a city or a set of dates, ranked.
- They want to know if a specific award booking clears their program's baseline value before they burn the points.

- **World of Hyatt:** a fixed published award chart, so the skill looks the points up itself from the property's category and season. No user input needed.
- **Dynamic programs (Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Wyndham):** points move with cash, so pass th
