The Five AI Engines, Explained in Plain English
Site feasibility, dual-track rent analysis, exit cap rate, absorption, and impact fees — a tour of the five engines that power the APEX system.
The APEX system is built around five specialized engines, each solving one of the hardest, most error-prone parts of a ground-up multifamily deal. They run in sequence, and each one hands verified inputs to the next.
1. Site Feasibility (APEX-DEV-300)
Turns raw parcel and zoning data into a go / no-go read on whether a site can actually support your unit count and story height.
2. Dual-Track Rent Analysis (APEX-MARKET-300)
Runs two independent rent-comp tracks and reconciles them, so your revenue assumptions are triangulated rather than guessed.
3. Exit Cap Rate (Schedule A)
Grounds your exit assumption in evidence instead of optimism — the single number that most often makes or breaks levered returns.
4. Absorption Engine
Models lease-up velocity against real demand signals so your stabilization timeline survives committee scrutiny.
5. Impact Fee Dashboard (APEX-DEV-300 v3.0)
Surfaces the municipal fees that quietly wreck budgets, mapped by jurisdiction, before you commit capital.
