What CRE systems can I export abstracted lease data into?

PaperAI exports clean CSV and JSON. Both import into Yardi, MRI, VTS, Lucernex, Leverton, and any portfolio tracker that accepts column-mapped CSV. Direct connectors to Yardi and MRI are on the Phase 2 roadmap.

How does PaperAI compare to Visual Lease, Leverton, or Prophia?

Those are enterprise CRE platforms priced at $100–$500/seat with full lease admin workflows. PaperAI is purpose-built for the abstraction step — $19–$99/month, self-serve, and designed for single-asset owners, small portfolios, and teams that want to bring offshore abstraction in-house. See /compare/lease-abstraction-software.

Does PaperAI extract complex escalations and CAM structures?

Yes. PaperAI extracts fixed-percent escalations, CPI escalations, stepped rent schedules, and modified-gross / triple-net CAM structures into structured fields. Complex multi-tier escalations and conditional CPI floors/ceilings get flagged for analyst review with the original lease clause visible side-by-side.

What about option dates and ROFR/ROFO clauses?

Renewal options, ROFR (right of first refusal), ROFO (right of first offer), and termination options all extract as structured fields including notice periods, exercise windows, and pricing mechanics. Critical for portfolio tracking — never miss an option-exercise window again.

How long does it take to abstract a typical commercial lease?

60–90 seconds for a typical 50–80 page commercial lease. Larger leases (200+ pages with extensive exhibits) take 2–3 minutes. Compare to 30–60 minutes per lease for a paralegal or 7–14 days turnaround for offshore service bureaus.

Can I batch-abstract an entire acquisition lease stack?

Yes. Drop the full lease folder (often 40–200 leases per acquisition), and PaperAI processes them in parallel. The full stack is typically ready for analyst review overnight instead of weeks.

What about leases with handwritten addendums?

Handwritten addendums, pen-and-ink amendments, and signature-page edits all get detected by premium AI models. These flag as low confidence in the side-by-side view for analyst verification before export.

How is my lease data handled?

Multi-tenant data isolation by org. Documents process in our managed Microsoft Azure tenancy with encryption in transit (TLS). Your lease data is never used to train models. Enterprise plans add SSO/SAML and dedicated infrastructure. PaperAI does not currently hold SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other formal certifications — see /trust.

How does pricing work?

Each lease (50–250 pages) is approximately 100 credits on premium models. The $19/mo Pro plan includes 1,000 credits (~10 leases). The $99/mo Scale plan includes 10,000 credits (~100 leases). Free tier includes your first lease for validation.

Commercial lease abstractionBuilt for CRE — replaces $25–$75/lease offshore abstraction

Stop paying $25–$75 per lease to offshore abstraction shops.

For REIT analysts, asset managers, and property teams who've outgrown spreadsheets but don't want a Visual Lease implementation. PaperAI extracts tenant, base rent, escalations, CAM, renewal options, and every key date — with an analyst in the side-by-side review on every high-stakes field.

Why offshore stopped being the answer

Commercial real estate teams have spent the last decade outsourcing lease abstraction to India at $25–$75 per lease. The work is slow, error-prone, and creates a black box between the legal document and your asset management system. PaperAI brings that abstraction in-house — a property manager, REIT analyst, or in-house counsel can drop a lease and have abstracted fields in under a minute.

Lease abstraction is hard because every landlord template is different, escalations live in schedules and exhibits, option dates are buried mid-paragraph, and CAM definitions vary wildly. Premium AI models read the full lease as a single document and locate each field the way an experienced abstractor would — then surface confidence scores so your team verifies the high-stakes fields before they hit Yardi or MRI.

Visual Lease, Leverton, and Prophia dominate the enterprise CRE tooling market with $100–$500/seat pricing. PaperAI's $19–$99/month tiers make abstraction accessible to single-asset owners and small CRE teams that would otherwise stay on spreadsheets and offshore vendors.

Common questions

Answers focused on conversion quality, team workflows, and roadmap clarity.

Yes. Premium AI models handle scanned PDFs, multi-language leases, and lease amendments. Riders and amendments can be uploaded alongside the base lease and abstracted into the same structured record so your team sees the executed terms, not just the original.
