She begins by compiling a history of room occupancy and ADRS, which she hopes will reveal areas in which revenue management could help.

Ana sends an analysis of revenue realized and revenue potential to Ms. Chu for review prior to their discussion After reviewing the analysis, Ms. Chu concludes, "This is just another scam; the industry is slow to adopt this," and disregards the entire report. She knows that occupancy percentage, ADR, and RevPAR are all you need to be efficient today, so why change?
