⚒️ Updates since Launch
Over the last 8 weeks, you provided a tremendous amount of feedback — often positive, but also constructive — that helped us improve two key aspects of the model. Thank you!
Here is what has been updated since launch:
 1. More Accurate Pricing for Far-Future Events
Our event model is now better calibrated to real demand data. When we see early booking signals for a future event, the model more accurately translates that demand into prices that reflect what guests are actually willing to pay. In practice, this often means higher recommendations for future events with strong early demand — ensuring properties aren't leaving revenue on the table.
2. Better-Calibrated Pre-Demand Event Protections (PDEP)
Wheelhouse's Pre-Demand Event Protection model ensures that prices reflect potential upcoming demand surges before bookings start rolling in. Based on your feedback and further analysis, we updated Model 9.0 so that PDEP recommendations are more tightly calibrated to what we expect to be the optimal price when future demand arrives.
With these changes locked in, we're now turning our research efforts toward Model 9.1.
🕵️ Review your Events & Holidays:
The latest (and final) updates to Pricing Engine 9.0 will likely reduce how aggressively our pricing responds to local holidays and events.
Therefore, we recommend taking time to review your market’s major holiday periods to ensure your pricing—and any overrides—are delivering exactly the prices you want.

🚉 Upgrading to Model 9.0: April 24th
As of today, Wheelhouse supports both Model 8.3 and Model 9.0. However, we will be phasing out Model 8.3 on April 24th
, at which point all listings will be automatically moved to Model 9.0.
If you'd like to migrate before that date, Wheelhouse makes it easy to preview your 9.0 pricing, upgrade, and start taking advantage of a model that is driving significant revenue increases.
As a reminder, when we launched Model 9.0 in January, we planned to give users 90 days to evaluate and transition to the new model. Based on these recent updates, we've extended that window — while also making sure we can set the stage to bring Model 9.1 to market.
