Due Diligence Overview: Why AI Tools Matter
Mobile Reality’s Property Copilot brings rigor and speed to real-estate due diligence by turning scattered PDFs and exports (lease abstracts, rent rolls, covenants, board packs) into cited answers you can defend. Instead of hopping between data rooms, email threads, and spreadsheets, your team asks one question and gets a response linked to the exact clause, page, and file version—with RBAC/SSO, audit logs, and EU/PL data residency baked in.
What changes with Mobile Reality due diligence AI solution:
From search to answers: The Copilot delivers due diligence findings with citations—no guessing, no stale decks.
Analyst leverage: Built-in AI tools automate document review, normalize tables, and compose “board-ready” snippets, so analysts focus on judgment, not retrieval.
Consistency at scale: Version-aware outputs and policy guardrails keep diligence responses aligned across assets, funds, and regions.
Speed + control: Latency targets and automation for routine checks (expirations, ROFR/ROFO, DSCR inputs) cut cycle time while preserving regulatory compliance.
Why it matters now: Tight timelines, mixed file quality, and rising disclosure expectations make manual tools brittle. Mobile Reality’s solution adds a verifiable layer of intelligence between your documents and your decisions—so deals move faster, risks surface earlier, and every answer stands up to scrutiny.
Benefits of AI for Diligence
Mobile Reality’s Copilot concentrates the benefits of AI where they matter: faster cycles, stronger evidence, and fewer surprises in the investment process.
Speed & scale (automation and efficiency): Automated intake, OCR, clause extraction, and table normalization compress days of manual work into minutes—freeing analysts to focus on high-value analysis and shaping deals.
Evidence you can defend: Every finding includes source links (file, page, clause) with version awareness. That turns “we think” into intelligence backed by proof—board-ready by default.
Lower risk, higher compliance: Guardrails (Cite-only, confidence thresholds, RBAC/SSO) keep outputs consistent with policy. Audit logs track who asked what, when, and which data informed the answer.
Smarter workflows: Reusable checks for expirations, ROFR/ROFO, SNDA/estoppels, and DSCR inputs standardize diligence workflows across assets and teams—no reinvention per deal.
Continuous learning: Feedback loops capture reviewer edits and accepted answers so the Copilot “learns” your preferences, templates, and exception language over time—compounding efficiency.
Cross-functional collaboration: One shared context for experts in legal, finance, and ops reduces handoffs, rework, and version confusion. Everyone sees the same cited truth.
Market awareness: Optional connectors bring market intelligence (comps, rates, news) next to internal documents, so decisions blend external signals with your governed data.
Bottom line: With Mobile Reality, AI isn’t another tool to manage—it’s the operating layer that makes your workflows faster, safer, and easier to explain.
Diligence Workflows: From Intake to Sign-Off
Mobile Reality structures diligence workflows so your team moves from messy uploads to board-ready intelligence without losing control. The Copilot orchestrates process steps, captures evidence, and routes open items to the right experts—all with citations and access controls.
Intake → Normalization → Review → Decision
Intake (automation): Drag-and-drop leases, rent rolls, covenants, reports. OCR + parsing standardize data from scans and spreadsheets.
Normalization (ai tools): Clause tagging (ROFR/ROFO, SNDA, options, breaks), table extraction (rent roll, CAPEX/OPEX), and version checks ensure apples-to-apples analysis.
Review (intelligence): The Copilot answers questions with citations and proposes summaries; reviewers accept/edit, building a governed knowledge trail.
Decision (efficiency): Final “diligence pack” compiles findings, risks, and assumptions with links to source pages—export to PDF/CSV or push to your room/BI.
Workflow Checkpoints and Process Handoffs
Make progress visible and auditable across the workflows:
Checkpoint gates: Completeness of uploads, expiration ladder generated, covenant variances flagged, DSCR inputs verified.
Handoffs: Legal reviews redlines; finance verifies rent roll deltas; ops validates maintenance obligations—each step logged with time, owner, and source.
Risk register: Central list of issues (e.g., unusual inducements, break-clause timing) with severity, mitigation, and due diligence status.
Collaboration with Experts Across Teams
Reduce back-and-forth and keep everyone on the same page:
Role-aware views: Legal sees clause diffs; finance sees normalized tables; asset managers see market intelligence alongside internal data.
Comment-as-evidence: Notes attach to the exact clause/table cell; approvals and exceptions inherit the compliance rules you define.
Learning loop: Accepted edits feed back into patterns and templates, so the Copilot improves across deals and future diligence cycles.
Automation and Efficiency in the Due Diligence Process
With Mobile Reality’s Copilot, automation and efficiency aren’t buzzwords—they’re the levers that shrink cycle time while raising confidence. The assistant offloads repetitive review, standardizes process steps, and turns unstructured data into decision-ready intelligence—so your experts focus on judgment, not copy-paste.
Document intake & routing: Auto-detects document types (lease, abstract, covenant, report), tags versions, and assigns the right workflows.
Clause & table extraction: Finds ROFR/ROFO, options, breaks, SNDA/estoppels; normalizes rent roll and CAPEX/OPEX tables for apples-to-apples analysis.
Variance & risk analysis: Highlights anomalies (e.g., step-ups out of range, unusual inducements) and logs them in a centralized risk register.
Cited summaries: Produces “board-ready” bullets with citations to the exact clause/page—perfect for QBRs and investment memos.
Hands-free moments: Optional voice queries during meetings or site visits keep momentum without context switching.
Automation Playbook for Document Review
Operationalize ai tools in a way teams trust:
Template the intake: Required docs list, naming conventions, and a checksum for completeness.
Rule packs per asset class: Thresholds for expirations, CPI/step-ups, and coverage ratios; exception routing to the right experts.
Cite-only summaries: No source, no statement. The Copilot escalates instead of guessing—guardrails that satisfy compliance.
Deal room sync: Push accepted findings (with links) back to your room/BI so downstream stakeholders see one truth.
Learning loop: Reviewer edits become patterns; the system “remembers” preferred phrasing, tables, and visuals—continuous learning that compounds efficiency.
Efficiency Metrics and Time-to-Analysis
Prove the impact in days, not quarters:
Time-to-analysis (TTA): Intake → first cited summary. Target ↓ 60–80%.
Edit rate on summaries: Accepted vs. modified lines; trend down as automation learns.
Risk discovery latency: Time from upload to flagged issue; aim for hours, not days.
Evidence coverage: % of key claims with citations; target ≥ 95% for board-facing packs.
Process throughput: Deals per analyst per month—lift driven by standardized workflows and fewer handoffs.
Bottom line: Mobile Reality’s approach blends ai tools with pragmatic controls so your team ships faster, argues less, and walks into investment committees with evidence in hand.
Data and Analysis: Turning Documents into Intelligence
Mobile Reality’s Copilot converts messy data (scanned leases, abstracts, rent rolls, covenants, board packs) into structured analysis and decision-ready intelligence. Instead of paging through PDFs, your team asks questions and gets cited, normalized outputs you can plug into models, memos, or dashboards—without losing the link to the original clause or table.
How it works in practice
Structured capture: OCR + parsers lift clauses (ROFR/ROFO, options, breaks, SNDA/estoppels) and tables (rent roll, CAPEX/OPEX) into consistent schemas.
Cross-checks: The Copilot reconciles abstracted fields against the source data and flags gaps or conflicts (e.g., expiration date mismatch between abstract and lease).
Version-aware facts: Answers point to the latest approved file; prior versions remain visible in the audit trail for transparency.
Model-ready outputs: Export cited facts to CSV/JSON or push directly to your BI room so experts can run sensitivity and scenario analysis fast.
Learning Loops from Past Deals
Your diligence gets better every time you run it.
Reusable patterns: Accepted summaries and redlines become templates, so similar deals start ahead.
Reviewer signals: The Copilot learns which clauses and ratios trigger risk assessment, improving issue detection and reducing noise.
Benchmark intelligence: Aggregate anonymized metrics (e.g., typical step-up ranges by market/asset class) to inform pricing and structure—keeping competitive intelligence close to the work.
Continuous improvement: Each cycle tightens naming, tagging, and extraction rules—compounding learning and cutting time-to-answer further.
Result: You don’t just store documents—you operationalize them. Mobile Reality turns static files into a living knowledge system that accelerates diligence while preserving proof.
Risk and Compliance: Audit-Ready Diligence
Regulators, committees, and counterparties all ask the same thing: “Where did this claim come from?” Mobile Reality’s Copilot bakes risk management and compliance into the core of the diligence process so every assertion is defensible, repeatable, and easy to review.
Cite-only discipline: The assistant answers only when a trusted source exists—linking to the exact clause, page, file version, and timestamp. No source → no statement → automatic escalation.
RBAC/SSO & data boundaries: Access follows role, fund/vehicle, region, and need-to-know. Tenant-isolated vector stores, encryption in transit/at rest, and EU/PL residency options keep data where it belongs.
Version & variance control: Detects outdated documents and flags deltas (e.g., lease 3.1 vs 3.3). Variances are recorded with who/when/why for a clean audit trail.
Policy checks as code: Guardrails encode your red flags (late estoppels, unusual inducements, ROFR/ROFO edge cases, break-clause timing) and route exceptions to the right human expertise.
Board-ready artifacts: Every “yes/no” and every number in the memo carries a one-click trail back to evidence—reducing rework during IC and lender reviews.
Evidence, Controls, and Policy Alignment
Mobile Reality aligns operations with governance so speed doesn’t outpace control.
Evidence coverage KPIs: Track % of key findings with citations; target ≥95% for committee packs.
Control health: Monitor failed policy checks, median time-to-clear, and owner accountability across workflows.
Compliance snapshots: Export a regulator-friendly bundle (sources, approvals, exceptions) in minutes—not days.
Net effect: Faster deals with fewer surprises. Your team moves quickly, your controls keep up, and every answer stands up to scrutiny.
Market Intelligence for Better Deals
Great diligence needs more than documents—it needs market intelligence right next to your internal data. Mobile Reality’s Copilot blends external signals (comps, absorption, cap-rate moves, credit headlines) with your leases, rent rolls, and covenants to produce intelligence you can act on. Instead of tab-hopping, analysts ask one question and get an answer that cites both the clause and the latest market source—so pricing, structure, and risk calls are grounded in reality.
How Mobile Reality helps
Unified context: External feeds and reports appear beside lease facts and covenant checks—one narrative for faster analysis.
Normalized signals: We standardize formats/units (€/m² vs. $/SF, net vs. gross), so trend lines compare cleanly across market reports.
Actionable alerts: Watchlists and thresholds flag shifts (e.g., vacancy uptick, TI inflation) and route workflows to the right experts.
Board-ready synthesis: The Copilot composes short, cited “market paragraphs” you can drop into IC memos or lender packs.
Market Signals to Monitor in Real Time
Rent & concession trends: Effective rents, free-rent norms, TI allowance drift by submarket.
Absorption & availability: Space take-up vs. pipeline; early warnings on softness impacting deals.
Cap rates & financing: Yield moves, spreads, DSCR sensitivity; lender appetite by asset class.
Credit & counterparty news: Tenant credit alerts, layoffs, earnings surprises—embedded where they affect the process.
Permitting & zoning updates: Items that change fit-out timelines or inducements.
Construction & OPEX indices: Cost escalators that ripple into diligence assumptions.
ESG & compliance items: Regulations that affect operating costs, disclosures, or covenants.
Outcome: Your team doesn’t just collect facts—it sees patterns early. With Mobile Reality, market context is woven into the same automation and approval rails as your documents, so decisions are faster, smarter, and easier to defend.
AI Use Cases Across the Diligence Process
Mobile Reality’s Copilot applies AI tools where they remove the most friction—turning unstructured data into cited intelligence and standardized workflows your experts trust. Below are the highest-impact ai use cases we see across real-estate due diligence workflows.
Lease abstraction & expiration ladder (automation and efficiency) Auto-extract expirations, options to renew, breaks, CPI/step-ups; assemble a portfolio-level ladder with citations to each clause. Risk: miskeyed dates/versions → mitigated by version awareness + “no source, no statement.”
Rent roll reconciliation (analysis) Normalize rent roll tables; reconcile stated base rent/escalations vs. abstracted clauses; flag anomalies and produce a variance note with links.
Covenant compliance checks (compliance) Identify DSCR/ICR requirements, reporting cadence, and headroom; tie each figure to the governing document, then push a “pass/warn/fail” status to the process checklist.
ROFR/ROFO, SNDA & estoppels (risk) Extract presence/wording, counterparty obligations, and deadlines; maintain a live workflows queue for documents still outstanding.
CAPEX/OPEX & recoveries (analysis + market intelligence) Roll up historical CAPEX, recoverable OPEX, and escalation mechanisms; compare against market benchmarks and inflation indices with source links.
Inducements & concessions (deals) Catalog free rent, TI allowances, turnkey obligations; show net-effective rent math with clause-level citations.
Version diffs (3.1 vs 3.3) (challenges) Highlight changed sections between lease drafts; classify impact (financial/operational/legal); route to the right reviewer.
Board-ready memo builder (benefits of AI) Compose concise, cited bullets for the IC pack; export to PDF/CSV or sync to the data room so everyone reads the same truth.
Risk register & red-flag triage (automation) Centralize issues (late estoppels, unusual step-ups, co-tenancy clauses) with owner/severity/due date; trigger follow-ups automatically.
Acquisition/refi Q&A (intelligence) Ad-hoc questions—“ROFR exposure by asset?”, “Next 12-month expirations > 500 m²?”, “DSCR headroom by loan?”—answered with citations and version stamps.
Result: repeatable diligence workflows that shorten cycles, lower risk, and lift team efficiency—without sacrificing control.
Workflows for Leases, Financials, and Covenants
