The Problem
Every lease is a small research project. Portfolios are hundreds of them.
If leases cross your desk before they reach the ERP, you know these moments.
A 90-page lease. Read every page.
Base rent is on page 4, the escalation rider on page 61, and the option to renew hides in an amendment from 2019. Manual abstraction means a trained person reads all of it — for every lease, every acquisition, every migration.
Keying into the ERP is where errors live
Even a perfect abstract still has to be typed into Yardi, MRI, or Breeze — lease terms, charge schedules, options, deposits. One transposed date or missed escalation step and billing is wrong for months before anyone notices.
Portfolios arrive in batches, not one at a time
An acquisition closes and 200 leases land on your desk with a go-live date attached. Abstraction shops quote weeks and charge per lease — and you still re-check everything, because it's your name on the rent roll.
Why Not Just ChatGPT or Claude?
Generic chat models weren't built for lease abstraction — and can't survive the unit economics.
A chat summary and an audit-ready lease abstract are different products, at a very different cost per lease.
Generic chat models
ChatGPT, Claude, or any general-purpose LLM
- ✕ Non-deterministic — the same lease, run twice, returns different values. No audit trail when a client asks why rent changed on the second pass.
- ✕ Context-token bloat — every abstract re-uploads the full 90-page lease into the model context. Per-abstract cost drifts up with model prices and lease size, and there is no leverage across a portfolio.
- ✕ No page-level citations — values you can’t verify without re-reading the lease.
- ✕ Hallucination risk on financial terms — a confident guess looks exactly like a correct answer.
- ✕ Output is prose, not the structured fields your ERP actually needs.
PropETL Lease Abstraction
A specialised, lease-abstraction-first workflow — HITL, confidence-scored
- ✓ Purpose-built for lease abstraction — schema, prompts, and QA checklist locked to lease structure (parties, term, base rent + escalation, options, deposits, recoveries, key clauses).
- ✓ Every value cited to the page and clause it came from.
- ✓ Independent AI verification pass re-checks each extracted field against the source before a human sees it.
- ✓ Human-in-the-Loop: a person approves every 2nd-level review point before finalisation — with a per-field confidence score guiding attention.
- ✓ Consistent, verifiable output — same lease, reviewed once, delivered the same way every run.
- ✓ Delivered in your template, ready for Yardi Voyager, Yardi Breeze, MRI, JD Edwards, AppFolio, or Excel.
If a value can't be found in the document, we flag the gap and state the assumption — the pipeline never lets the model invent an answer.
How It Works
A managed service, not another tool to learn.
Automation sets the speed. A specialist signs off on every abstract.
01
Upload in the studio or send us the file
PAYG: sign in and upload one lease at a time (with any amendments) in the self-serve studio. Managed: share the portfolio with our team — PDFs, amendments, riders, and all.
Self-serve studio · Direct intake for managed engagements
02
Purpose-built lease-abstraction pipeline
A workflow built specifically for commercial leases — schema, prompts, and QA checklist locked to lease structure. Every field extracted with a page-level citation.
Every value traceable to the page it came from
03
Human-in-the-Loop review
An independent AI verification pass re-checks every field and assigns a per-field confidence score. Then a human — you in the studio, our specialist in a managed engagement — approves every 2nd-level review point before finalisation.
Confidence-scored · Human sign-off before delivery
04
Delivery in your format
You receive a clean, structured Excel abstract — ready for review, for the deal file, and for entry into Voyager, Breeze, MRI, JD Edwards, AppFolio, or your own template.
Yardi-ready import files on the roadmap
Your documents are processed in memory — never written to disk or a database — and each job is wiped automatically within hours of delivery. An NDA is available before you send anything.
The Deliverable
Everything your ERP needs. Nothing you have to hunt for.
Each abstract captures the full commercial picture of the lease, with page citations.
The Cost of Bad Lease Data
What badly abstracted lease data costs you.
These aren’t hypotheticals — they’re the quiet operational failures every portfolio with incomplete lease data eventually runs into.
Renewal notices missed by a day
Option and notice windows are strict — miss one and the right is gone, or the lease renews on terms you didn’t choose. If the option never made it out of the amendment and into the ERP, no alert ever fires.
Escalations that never bill
A +3% step buried in Exhibit B that isn’t keyed as a charge schedule simply doesn’t bill. The tenant pays last year’s rent, nobody complains, and the shortfall compounds quietly month after month.
Recoveries left uncollected
CAM caps, exclusions, and gross-up language decide what you can recover. When they live in a scanned PDF instead of structured fields, reconciliations get done from memory — and under-billing becomes the default.
Reports built on notes fields
Every rent roll, budget, and hold/sell decision runs on the lease data in your system. If key terms sit in free-text notes because migration ran out of time, your portfolio analytics inherit the gaps.
Due-diligence surprises after closing
Acquisitions price on the rent roll you were shown. Abstracts that skipped co-tenancy, termination, or exclusivity clauses turn into post-closing surprises — discovered when a tenant enforces a clause you didn’t know existed.
The fix is upstream.
Every one of these traces back to the abstract. Get the abstraction right — cited, verified, structured — and the rest of the system starts working.

FAQ
Questions before the first lease.
▸How does PropETL Lease Abstraction actually work?
It is a specialised, lease-abstraction-first workflow: multi-stage AI extraction with page-level citations, followed by an independent AI verification pass that assigns a per-field confidence score, followed by a Human-in-the-Loop who approves every 2nd-level review point before the abstract is finalised. Prompts, schema, and QA checklist are locked to commercial-lease structure — parties, term, base rent and escalation, options, deposits, recoveries, and key clauses.
▸Can I really try it for free?
Yes. Sign up for a free account and every new user gets 3 free lease abstractions to use in the self-serve studio. No credit card required. Upload one lease at a time (with all its amendments in the same upload), review anything flagged for review, and download the finished Excel abstract.
▸How is PAYG priced after the 3 free abstractions?
Additional abstractions are billed from a prepaid credit balance you top up any time. Minimum top-up is $10 via Stripe. Each abstract is metered — you only pay for leases you actually process, no subscription. The charge is shown on the final result. Failed jobs never consume a free slot and never draw from your balance.
▸What's the difference between PAYG and Managed Service?
PAYG is self-serve: you upload leases one at a time in the studio and are your own reviewer. Managed Service is a custom engagement for portfolios, migrations, and system-aligned delivery — our specialist reviews and signs off, you get a named point of contact, priority queue, custom output templates, NDA, and tailored delivery aligned to your ERP and compliance posture. Both use the same purpose-built pipeline underneath; pick PAYG for individual leases and one-off due diligence, Managed for volume and integration.
▸Why not just use ChatGPT or Claude directly?
Three reasons. First, non-determinism: the same lease run twice on a chat model returns different values, and there is no audit trail when a client asks why. Second, cost: every abstract re-uploads a 90-page lease into the model context, and per-abstract token cost drifts up with model prices and lease size — the unit economics do not survive at portfolio scale. Third, no page-level citations, no confidence scoring, no HITL sign-off, and prose output instead of structured fields your ERP can consume.
▸Which ERPs and systems do you deliver into?
Yardi Voyager, Yardi Breeze, MRI, JD Edwards, AppFolio, or Excel — the structured abstract is designed to feed each of these on entry. If you need a specific output template, tell us in the managed-service email and we align to it.
▸How is accuracy enforced?
By process, not promised by a model. Every extracted field is automatically re-verified against the source pages by an independent AI pass and given a confidence score; low-confidence values and conflicts are flagged for the Human-in-the-Loop to accept, reject, or annotate before the abstract is finalised. Where a value genuinely is not in the document, we flag the gap and state any assumption with its basis — the pipeline never lets the model invent an answer.
▸How many files should I upload per lease?
Upload ONE lease per job. If your lease has amendments, riders, or exhibits spread across several PDFs, add them all to the SAME upload — the pipeline combines them into a single lease abstract. Do NOT put two different leases in one job: you will get one blended abstract instead of two accurate ones.
▸Can you handle portfolios or migrations?
Yes — that is what the Managed Service is for. Batch intake, specialist sign-off, custom output templates, and a priority queue during migrations and acquisitions. Email support@propetl.com with your portfolio size, ERP, and timeline and we will scope pricing within one business day.
▸What happens to my documents?
Documents are processed in memory only — never written to disk or a database — and each job is wiped automatically within hours of delivery. Only billing metadata (credit balance, purchase records, per-job amounts and timestamps) is persisted; never the lease contents. NDA available before you send anything for a managed engagement.
▸What is lease abstraction?
Lease abstraction is reading a commercial lease — often a long scanned document with amendments and riders — and pulling out every data point an owner or manager needs: parties, premises, term dates, rent and escalation schedules, options, deposits, and key clauses. The abstract is what gets entered into an ERP like Yardi, MRI, or Breeze so billing, collections, and reporting run correctly.
