One graph. Every source.
Every output, on demand.

Built AI is the AI-native operating system for institutional real estate. We take the systems you already run, Argus, Yardi, Excel, your warehouse, and bind them into a single, normalized knowledge graph of entities, documents, and cashflows. On top of that graph sits a deterministic calculation engine and an embedded analyst that can read any deal, compute any number, and author any artifact, while every external action waits for a human to approve it.

A real estate knowledge graph, entities, documents, and cashflows in one place

Every institutional real estate firm already has the data it needs; the problem is that it lives in pieces. The rent roll is in Yardi, the model in Excel, the valuation in Argus, the lease a PDF in a data room, and none of them can answer a question that spans all of them.

Built AI's foundation is a single normalized graph that stitches those pieces back together: funds, assets, leases, tenants, loans and covenants modeled as connected entities, not files in folders.

We model the things institutional real estate actually cares about as first-class entities, funds, vehicles, JV structures, assets, units, leases, tenants, loans, covenants, counterparties, connected to the documents that govern them and the cashflows they produce. A lease is not a file; it is a node connected to its tenant, its unit, its rent schedule, its options and its parent asset. A loan is not a row in a spreadsheet; it is a node connected to its covenants, its amortization schedule, its lender and the entity that signed it.

Once those relationships exist, questions that used to take an analyst two days collapse into a single traversal of the graph. Which assets in Fund III breach a DSCR covenant if rates move another fifty basis points? Which leases rolling in the next eighteen months sit above market, and what does re-leasing at market do to NOI and to the waterfall? Which counterparties appear across more than one position? These are graph questions, and a graph is the only structure that answers them without a human manually reconciling five systems first.

A spreadsheet stores numbers. A document stores words. A graph stores relationships, and relationships are where the answers live.

Connect → Normalize → Reason → Author

The platform runs the same four-step loop over everything it touches, and it is worth being precise about what each step does, because the rigor of the later steps depends entirely on the discipline of the earlier ones.

Connect. We integrate with the systems of record you already operate, accounting platforms, the valuation engine, scenario models, the warehouse, and with the unstructured corpus you accumulate on every deal: offering memoranda, term sheets, rent rolls, leases, loan packages, appraisals, K-1s. Nothing is migrated and nothing is replaced. The graph reads from where your data already lives.

Normalize. A lease from one landlord's template and a lease from another's describe the same economic reality in different words. We resolve those into a common schema, the same field names, the same units, the same entity identities, so that "base rent," "minimum rent" and "fixed rent" become one concept the engine can compute against. Every normalized value carries a pointer back to the exact source it came from, down to the page, the cell or the line.

Reason. On the normalized graph, the deterministic engine computes. IRRs, DSCRs, debt yields, cap rates, NOI bridges, waterfall distributions, sensitivity tables, all run as real, auditable calculations, not as a language model's best guess at arithmetic. We will spend a whole section on why this distinction is the difference between a demo and a system you can put in front of an investment committee.

Author. Finally, the platform writes, IC memos, investor letters, covenant packs, variance narratives, lease abstracts, in your templates, with your formatting, with every figure traceable to the graph node that produced it. Authoring is where the work leaves the machine and reaches a human, which is exactly why it is also where approval lives.

02 · Integration

We sit on top of your stack, not instead of it

An orchestration layer that reads your systems of record and writes back only on approval. Read-then-write-on-approval, by design. See the governance →

The fastest way to lose an institutional real estate firm is to ask it to rip out a system it has spent a decade and a fortune trusting. We do the opposite. Built AI is an orchestration layer that reads from your systems of record, reasons across them, and writes back only when a human says so. Your Argus model is still the source of valuation truth. Your accounting platform is still the system of record for the books. We make them talk to each other and to the documents, we do not try to be them.

Calculation engine

Argus

Argus stays the valuation authority. We read its projections into the graph and run scenarios against its assumptions, never overwriting it.

Property & fund accounting

Yardi · MRI · Entrata

Rent rolls, GL actuals and fund accounting flow into the graph as live, normalized entities, read-only by default, so the books stay the books.

Scenario models

Excel

Your underwriting and waterfall models keep their logic. We map their inputs to graph nodes and run scenarios against them, one model, not two diverging copies.

Data infrastructure

The data warehouse

Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks or your lake, connected read-only. The graph hydrates from it; any write-back is explicit, scoped and approved.

Documents

Data rooms & deal files

OMs, term sheets, leases, appraisals and rent rolls are extracted into the graph with a field-level audit trail, queryable and citable alongside your structured systems.

Outputs

Your templates & channels

IC memos, investor letters and covenant packs are authored in your branded templates and staged for review, every destination is a place a human sends to, never one an agent sends from on its own.

The read-then-write-on-approval model

Connections default to read. The platform pulls from your systems, normalizes what it finds, and reasons over it, and at that point it has changed nothing in your environment. That is deliberate. An orchestration layer that can silently mutate the books, the model or the warehouse is a liability dressed as a feature. So every write, a posted reconciliation, an updated assumption, a sent letter, a row pushed back to the warehouse, is a discrete, scoped action that a named person approves before it executes. The platform proposes; the human disposes. You get the speed of an automated system with the control of a manual one, and the audit log records who approved what, when, and against which evidence.

What this means for you

You do not migrate, you do not re-platform, and you do not hand control of your records to a model. You connect the systems you already trust, the graph lights up across them in days rather than quarters, and the first time anything leaves read-only is the moment a person clicks approve. Adoption risk stays low precisely because the destructive surface stays closed by default.

03 · The differentiator Deterministic, not generative, math

The deterministic calculation engine

This is the part most "AI for real estate" pitches quietly skip, and it decides whether a tool is a toy or an instrument of institutional capital. At Built AI no financial number is ever produced by a language model: every IRR, DSCR, debt-yield test and waterfall tier runs on a native deterministic engine that shows its work cell by cell.

The distinction is not pedantic. Large language models are pattern machines; they generate the most plausible next token, not the correct next computation. Ask one to compound a cashflow over a ten-year hold with a mid-stream refinance and it will return a number that looks right and is frequently wrong, with no way to tell which is which. That is acceptable when the cost of an error is a clumsy sentence. It is disqualifying when the cost of an error is an investment committee approving the wrong deal, or an investor letter overstating returns to limited partners.

If you cannot trace a number to its source, you do not have a number, you have a guess with good production values.

So we built the platform around traceability as a first principle. Every figure the system reports is backed by a calculation graph: the output cell points to the formula, the formula points to its inputs, and each input points to the exact source, a Yardi GL line, an Argus assumption, a clause on page 14 of the loan agreement, a cell in the underwriting model. Click any number in any artifact and you walk the chain all the way down to the document or system it came from. There is no opaque step, no "the model said so," no arithmetic that happened somewhere a regulator cannot follow.

The black-box problem, and why it disqualifies regulated capital

EY framed this directly in their guidance on AI in financial services: a model whose reasoning cannot be inspected, the "black-box problem", is unfit for use in regulated capital, no matter how accurate it appears on average. Institutional real estate is regulated capital. Fund managers answer to LPs, to auditors, to fund administrators, to lenders, and increasingly to regulators who expect every reported figure to be explainable and reproducible. A return that an analyst cannot reconstruct is a return that does not survive diligence.

A purely generative system fails this test by construction. You can ask it to "show its work," and it will helpfully invent a plausible-looking derivation, but that derivation is itself generated, not audited, so it provides the appearance of rigor without the substance. The deterministic engine inverts this. The work is the computation, not a story told about the computation after the fact. When an auditor asks how the Q3 NOI bridge was built, the answer is not a narrative; it is the actual calculation graph, every node of which resolves to a source.

  • Number computed by a fixed formula
  • Bit-for-bit reproducible from the same inputs
  • Cell-by-cell chain to the source
  • Surfaces missing or conflicting inputs
  • A calculation graph an auditor can replay
The model is the analyst's mind. The engine is the analyst's calculator, one the firm, the auditor, and the LP can all check.

This is why the language model and the engine have strictly separate jobs. The model is the analyst's mind, it reads, reasons about what matters, decides which scenarios to run and writes the prose. The engine is the analyst's calculator, and it is a calculator the firm, the auditor and the LP can all check. Keep those two roles separate and you get the fluency of AI with the rigor of finance. Blur them, and you get a black box no investment committee should sign.

What this means for you

Every output the platform produces can go straight into diligence. When an LP, an auditor or a lender asks "where did this number come from," you do not defend a model, you open the trace and show the source. That is the difference between AI you can demo and AI you can underwrite on.

04 · The embedded analyst Context, not chat

The embedded analyst, context, not a chatbot

A chatbot lives in a sidebar and knows nothing about your business until you paste it in. Built AI's analyst lives inside your data room, your deal room and your books, and it already knows the portfolio. You do not brief it on the deal, it is standing in the deal. That is the whole difference between a generic assistant and an analyst that has actually read the file.

Because it sits on the knowledge graph, it has standing context: the entities, the documents, the cashflows and the relationships between them. Ask it about an asset and it already knows the leases, the loan, the covenants and the fund the asset sits in. Ask it about a fund and it already knows every position, every counterparty and every cashflow rolling up into the waterfall. There is no context window to manage and no copy-paste ritual, the context is the graph.

Three principles govern how it behaves, and together they are what make it safe to embed inside an institution rather than bolt onto its edge.

It cites and computes every cell

Nothing the analyst reports is asserted without a citation, and nothing it calculates is done by the model. Every claim points to the clause, line or GL entry it rests on; every number is produced by the deterministic engine and traceable to source. You can take any figure it gives you and walk it back to the document, which means you can hand its work to your IC without re-deriving it yourself.

It writes the artifacts, in your templates

The analyst does not just answer questions; it produces the deliverables that questions exist to support. IC memos, investor letters, covenant compliance packs, lease abstracts, variance narratives, drafted in your firm's templates and formatting, with every figure linked back to the graph. The output is not a starting point you rebuild; it is a near-final draft a human reviews and signs.

It asks permission to act

This is the line that does not move. The analyst can read anything it has access to and draft anything you ask for, but every action that leaves your tenant, an email, a posted entry, a write back to a system, requires explicit human approval. Nothing auto-sends. Nothing executes on the model's own initiative. The analyst proposes the action and the artifact together, and a named person approves before either leaves the building.

What this means for you

Your analysts stop being the bottleneck for the first eighty percent of every deliverable and become the reviewers of it. The embedded analyst does the reading, the citing, the computing and the drafting; your people do the judgment, the relationships and the sign-off, the parts that were always supposed to be human.

05 · Document-driven scenarios

From a document to a decision in one pass

Follow a single document through the platform: extract, simulate, decide, every field traced to its origin. See it on a live deal →

The clearest way to see the platform work is to follow one document through it: a term sheet, an offering memorandum, a loan package or a rent roll. Built AI compresses what used to take days of manual extraction and re-keying into a single auditable pass: extract → simulate → decide.

Extract. The platform reads the document and pulls the institutional facts out of it, up to 114 structured fields from a typical deal package, covering everything from purchase price, cap rate and loan terms to lease-level economics, rent escalations, options and recovery structures. Every extracted field carries an audit trail: the value, a confidence signal, and a pointer to the exact location in the source it came from. Nothing is silently inferred; anything ambiguous is flagged for a human to confirm rather than guessed.

Simulate. Those fields hydrate the graph and the deterministic engine goes to work. IRR and equity multiple across the hold. DSCR and debt yield against the proposed financing. Occupancy and roll-over exposure from the rent roll. Then the scenarios, rate moves, re-leasing at market, an extended lease-up, a delayed refinance, a softer exit cap. Each scenario is a real computation against the same engine your firm already trusts, not a model's narrative guess at what might happen.

Decide. The output is a branded IC memo: the deal summarized, the assumptions stated, the base case and the sensitivities laid out, and every number traceable back to the clause or line it rests on. A document that arrived as an unstructured PDF in the morning is, by the afternoon, a committee-ready memo your team reviews and signs, or passes on, with the reasons on the record. The same pipeline powers the acquisitions workflow for screening and underwriting, and the asset management workflow for continuous lease and covenant monitoring once a deal is live.

06 · AI agents The catalog that runs the lifecycle

A catalog of agents that runs the lifecycle

An analyst answers questions when you ask. An agent watches for the moment a question needs asking. Built AI ships a catalog of agents that sit on the knowledge graph and run the institutional lifecycle, from a new deal landing to a quarter-end letter going out.

Every agent does the same three things: it watches for an event, does the work on the graph, then stops and waits for a named human to approve. An agent can prepare an entire investor letter; it cannot send one.

The discipline is what keeps a fleet of autonomous workers safe inside a regulated firm. Each agent watches for a specific event, a document added, an actuals refresh, a period close. It does the work when that event fires, abstracts the lease, explains the variance, tests the covenant, drafts the letter. And then it stops. That boundary is structural, not a setting, and it is why the count at the bottom of this page that matters most reads zero.

The numbers are the argument. Twenty-four agents in the catalog, eight deployed, twenty-four hundred runs in a week, and zero actions taken outside the tenant without a human in the loop. A platform can be busy and still be safe, but only if the busy part and the irreversible part are separated by a person. Built AI keeps that separation by design. The agents do the volume; the people keep the authority. Read how the boundary is enforced, logged and certified on the security & governance page.

07 · Deployment & governance Your tenant, your model, your control

Deployed in your tenant, governed on your terms

A platform that handles a fund's leases, loans, books and investor communications has to meet the bar institutional real estate sets for any system that touches capital. Built AI is built to deploy inside your perimeter and run under your policies by default, not as an afterthought bolted on for the security review.

The platform deploys multi-tenant or single-tenant, your choice: run it as a managed multi-tenant instance, or as a single-tenant deployment that is yours alone, isolated from every other customer with no shared data plane, when your mandate calls for it. It is bring-your-own-model, so the language model runs under your contracts and your controls, including fully private deployments where the model never leaves your environment. You can self-host or run on-premise when your mandate requires it, putting the entire system inside your own infrastructure.

On data: it never leaves your tenant, and it never trains any model, your leases, your rent rolls, your returns and your investor data are used to answer your questions and nothing else, full stop. Every output is 100% auditable, because the deterministic engine and the citation chain make traceability a property of the system rather than a feature you have to ask for. On certification, Built AI is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, both in progress.

The short version

Multi- or single-tenant. Bring your own model. Self-host or on-prem. Data never leaves your tenant and never trains a model. Outputs are fully auditable by construction. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, both in progress. The full architecture, controls and certifications live on the security & governance page.

See the platform on your own portfolio.

Bring a live deal, a fund or a stack of documents and watch the graph light up across your own systems, extract, simulate and author, with every number traceable to source. No migration, nothing leaves your tenant, and nothing acts without your sign-off.
