AI Syndication Deal Scoring

The Problem

Your team can’t triage syndication deals fast enough—good opportunities die in the spreadsheet queue

Organizations face these key challenges:

1

Analysts spend hours extracting rent rolls/T-12s from PDFs before any real underwriting starts

2

Deal scoring is inconsistent—two analysts produce different conclusions from the same package

3

High deal flow creates backlogs, forcing shallow screening and missed deadlines for LOIs

4

Hidden risks surface late (tenant concentration, expense anomalies, debt terms), wasting diligence spend

Impact When Solved

Faster deal screening and time-to-LOIMore consistent underwriting and risk controlsScale deal flow without hiring proportionally

The Shift

Before AI~85% Manual

Human Does

  • Manually review OM/T-12/rent roll and enter key figures into spreadsheets
  • Build/adjust underwriting assumptions (rent growth, vacancy, capex, exit cap) based on experience
  • Pull comps and market context from multiple sources and reconcile inconsistencies
  • Write IC memos and present qualitative rationale for go/no-go decisions

Automation

  • Basic spreadsheet formulas/macros for underwriting
  • Static dashboards/BI reports for market metrics
  • Manual ETL scripts (if any) to load limited datasets
With AI~75% Automated

Human Does

  • Define investment criteria, constraints, and governance (targets, exclusions, risk appetite)
  • Review AI-scored top deals, validate key assumptions, and approve go/no-go
  • Handle exceptions/escalations (missing docs, unusual structures, edge-case markets)

AI Handles

  • Ingest and extract data from OMs, rent rolls, T-12s, appraisals, and lender term sheets
  • Normalize and reconcile data (NOI adjustments, trailing vs pro-forma, unit mix, occupancy)
  • Generate a deal score with drivers (return, risk, sensitivity, data quality/confidence)
  • Automate comps/market pulls, anomaly detection, and red-flag checks (tenant risk, expenses, DSCR)
