Continuous variance:
Reconciliation runs the moment actuals land, not two weeks after close.

- Lease and rollover risk become a live view.
- The portfolio answers questions in minutes.

It sits on top of Yardi, Argus and your model
An orchestration layer that reads your systems of record and writes back only on approval.
Human in the loop
Your judgment stays the authority. An agent that can silently revise a covenant test or post a number...
