ENGAGEMENT PROPOSAL

Genesis AI Intelligence — Sonesta International Hotels

Classification: Confidential — C-Suite Distribution Only
Prepared for: Keith Pierce & Jeff Leer, Co-CEOs (effective April 1, 2026)
Prepared by: Day 7 Public Benefit Corporation | Genesis AI Platform
Date: March 2026

PROPOSAL OVERVIEW

Day 7 Public Benefit Corporation proposes a phased engagement with Sonesta International Hotels Corporation to deploy Genesis AI intelligence across Sonesta's portfolio of approximately 1,100 properties, 13 brands, and 100,000 rooms.

This is not a proposal for software. It is a proposal for intelligence — the kind that transforms how a hotel company understands its markets, prices its rooms, serves its guests, and compounds its competitive advantage over time.

The engagement is structured so that Sonesta commits nothing until value is proven, invests modestly while value is validated, and scales investment only when evidence demands it. At every phase, the decision to continue is Sonesta's — based on data, not promises.

What Makes This Different

Most technology proposals for hotel companies begin with an integration timeline and a contract. This one begins with free work.

The package you are reading — 19 market analyses, 200+ property profiles, competitive intelligence, revenue projections, and strategic recommendations — was built at Day 7's expense using only publicly available data. It was produced by Genesis AI, the same platform being proposed for deployment.

This package is the proof of concept. The proposal that follows is the plan for scaling what this package demonstrates into a permanent operating advantage.

WHAT YOU GET

Phase 1: Proof of Intelligence (Weeks 1–4) — No Cost

Total Phase 1 cost to Sonesta: $0

Phase 2: Pilot Program (Months 2–4) — $3,500–$5,000/property/month

Phase 3: Portfolio Rollout (Months 5–12) — Volume-Tiered Pricing

All Phase 2 capabilities plus:

Phase 4: Enterprise Scale (Year 2+) — Full Portfolio License

All prior capabilities plus:

INVESTMENT STRUCTURE

Phase 1: Proof of Intelligence

No contract. No NDA required (though welcome). No obligation.

Phase 2: Pilot Program

Pilot pricing reflects the per-property rate ($3,500/month = $42,000/year = $0.94/room/night for a 125-room select-service property). No volume discounts apply during the pilot period.

Phase 3: Portfolio Rollout — Volume Tiers

Phase 4: Full Portfolio License

Annual contract with 90-day exit provision. No long-term lock-in.

THREE ENGAGEMENT OPTIONS

Sonesta may select the engagement model that best aligns with its strategic posture and risk tolerance.

Option A: Consulting Engagement

Structure: Project-based or retainer consulting relationship
Best for: Organizations that want intelligence without committing to a platform

Pros: Lowest commitment. No technology integration required. Sonesta retains all deliverables.
Cons: No continuous intelligence. No cross-property learning. No compounding. Each engagement starts from zero.

Recommended for: Initial relationship building if platform commitment is premature.

Option B: Platform License (Recommended)

Structure: Per-property monthly license with volume tiers as described above
Best for: Organizations ready to deploy AI as a permanent operating layer

Pros: Full intelligence capability. Cross-property learning activated. Compounding value. Predictable cost structure. Scalable.
Cons: Requires PMS integration (read-only) for full value. Monthly commitment per property.

Recommended for: The engagement described in this package. This is the model that delivers the projected $62M–$168M+ annual portfolio value.

Option C: Revenue Share Partnership

Structure: Lower base fee + percentage of AI-attributable incremental revenue
Best for: Organizations that want to align vendor economics with outcomes

Example at 100 properties:
- Base fee: $1.3M/year (50% of $2.6M standard)
- If AI generates $15M incremental revenue: 12.5% share = $1.875M
- Total cost: $3.175M for $15M in value (4.7x ROI)
- Revenue share cap: $5.2M maximum regardless of performance

Pros: Aligns Day 7's incentives with Sonesta's outcomes. Lower upfront commitment. Day 7 is paid for results.
Cons: Requires transparent revenue data sharing. More complex measurement methodology. Longer minimum commitment.

Recommended for: Organizations that want maximum alignment between vendor compensation and performance.

TIMELINE: FROM FIRST MEETING TO PORTFOLIO DEPLOYMENT

TEAM

Day 7 / Genesis — What We Provide

Sonesta — What We Need From You

No new hires are required. No organizational restructuring. The engagement is designed to overlay existing operations, not disrupt them.

DATA SECURITY

Enterprise-Grade Protection

What We Do Not Do

• We do not share Sonesta data with any third party, including other hotel clients
• We do not use Sonesta data to train models for other companies
• We do not access guest personally identifiable information (PII) unless explicitly authorized
• We do not retain any data after contract termination unless Sonesta requests otherwise
• We do not sell, license, or monetize Sonesta data in any form

Compliance and Audit

• Annual third-party security audit
• Penetration testing conducted quarterly
• Security incident response plan with <4-hour notification commitment
• Sonesta has the right to audit data handling practices with 30 days notice

COMPETITIVE CONTEXT: WHAT THIS WOULD COST ELSEWHERE

This intelligence capability is not available from traditional hospitality consultants at any price, because it requires an AI platform purpose-built for the hospitality industry. For comparison, here is what Sonesta would pay for comparable scope from other providers:

Traditional Consulting

Hospitality Technology Vendors

Genesis AI

The traditional consulting path costs more, delivers less, takes longer, and produces no compounding intelligence. The point-solution vendor path costs more, requires managing 4–5 vendor relationships, produces no cross-system learning, and creates integration complexity.

Genesis delivers a unified intelligence layer at a fraction of the cost, with compounding value from day one.

ABOUT DAY 7

Day 7 Public Benefit Corporation is structured as a public benefit corporation — a legal designation that embeds social purpose alongside shareholder value. The company was founded on the principle that artificial intelligence should serve human flourishing, not replace human judgment.

Genesis AI is a sovereign, enterprise-grade intelligence platform built on open-source infrastructure. It is not a resold API from OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic — it is a purpose-built system designed for industries where data sovereignty, competitive sensitivity, and compounding intelligence create durable advantage.

Technical Foundation

Why a Public Benefit Corporation

Day 7's legal structure means that intelligence produced by Genesis cannot be used to deceive, manipulate, or exploit the people it serves. Guest data is never monetized. Competitive intelligence is never shared. The system is designed to make good operators better — not to replace human expertise with algorithmic opacity.

This is not marketing language. It is a legal obligation encoded in the company's articles of incorporation.

NEXT STEP

Schedule a 30-minute intelligence demo.

No contract. No commitment. No cost.

In that meeting, we will:

1. Walk through the market analysis most relevant to Sonesta's immediate priorities
2. Demonstrate a live intelligence query on a Sonesta property using only public data
3. Answer questions about the phased deployment model
4. Discuss which properties would be most valuable for Phase 1

The package you are reading is the largest proof of concept we can produce without your participation. The next step is a conversation about whether this intelligence is worth deploying at scale.

We believe the evidence speaks for itself. But evidence needs a listener.
