Asset Value Index (AVI)

Understanding the Relationship Between Customer Experience and Asset Value

The Asset Value Index (AVI) is DATAFQ’s proprietary methodology for measuring how customer experience, reputation and market perception contribute to the value of an asset, brand, destination or organization. By combining customer feedback, sentiment analysis and competitive benchmarking, the AVI provides a deeper understanding of the factors that influence long-term performance and value creation.

Why Customer Perception Matters

Financial performance tells part of the story. Customer perception tells the rest.

Organizations with stronger guest experiences, higher customer satisfaction and better reputations often achieve superior commercial performance, stronger market positioning and greater long-term value. The AVI was developed to help leaders understand and measure this relationship.

How the AVI Works

The Asset Value Index evaluates the drivers of value creation through a combination of:

• Customer Sentiment
• Reputation Performance
• Experience Quality
• Competitive Positioning
• Market Perception
• Benchmark Comparisons

Together, these indicators provide a structured framework for understanding how customers perceive an organization and how that perception contributes to overall value.

The AVI is part of the DATAFQ Methodology Framework, developed through decades of experience in customer intelligence, reputation management and hospitality analytics.

The methodology is supported by:

• More than 20 years of industry expertise
