Channel Manager ve metasearch birbirinin alternatifi değildir. Channel Manager inventory/rate state'ini birçok satış kanalına dağıtır; metasearch consumer-facing discovery/comparison ve handoff katmanıdır.

## Karşılaştırma

| Boyut | Channel Manager | Metasearch |
|---|---|---|
| Layer | Connectivity / distribution | Retail / discovery |
| Primary user | Hotel/property operator | Traveler |
| Source state | PMS/CRS/CM | Supplier/OTA/direct channel offers |
| Core data | ARI, restrictions, reservation | Comparable offers/prices |
| Booking ownership | Downstream channel/property | Çoğu modelde downstream booking partner |
| Main KPI | Sync accuracy / booking reconciliation | Coverage / freshness / CTR / conversion |

## Tipik topology

```text
PMS/CRS
  -> Channel Manager
      -> OTA
      -> Direct channel
      -> Metasearch-connected partner

Metasearch
  -> compares downstream offers
  -> sends traveler to booking surface
```

## Nerede kesişirler?

Bir hotel, channel manager üzerinden OTA'lara inventory dağıtırken metasearch'te aynı hotel için OTA/direct offers görünebilir.

Bu durumda metasearch'in gördüğü fiyat hatasının kökü channel manager mapping veya stale ARI olabilir.

## Failure boundary

Channel Manager failure:
- stale ARI,
- out-of-order update,
- reservation reconciliation drift.

Metasearch failure:
- stale offer,
- wrong mapping,
- duplicate property,
- broken deeplink,
- landing price mismatch.

## Checklist

- [ ] Connectivity ve discovery ownership ayrı mı?
- [ ] Property/room mapping lineage korunuyor mu?
- [ ] ARI freshness metasearch price freshness'ten ayrı ölçülüyor mu?
- [ ] Booking owner explicit mi?
- [ ] Price mismatch root cause upstream'a kadar izlenebiliyor mu?
