Without getting wrapped into the numbers, it is actually pretty simple to tell if the resort has been oversold. You just have to calculate the room cost total for the year and how many of each room (be easiest with a resort that doesn't have lock offs, because that can skew the numbers).
You will never "always" have availability, because you have to take into account banking and borrowing. Now, if they eliminated banking/borrowing and trading resorts, yes you would always have availability...but it would not necessarily be consecutive nights (such as a wed/thur/fri...but maybe one day in april, one in july and one december)....all based on what other people have booked.
The only truely balanced timeshare would be a fixed week timeshare with specific Sat-Sat bookings as previously mentioned....but those systems are also a lot less flexible.
