CRE debt and property analysis is hard. CRE debt professionals face a monumental task providing real-time investment decisions, for a subject whose performance is impacted by innumerable fast changing factors.
The idea behind Ai SPARK
Ai SPARK was born out of the idea to leverage technology to meet the challenge of Commercial Real Estate (CRE) debt investment analysis.
CRE debt professionals operate in a chaotic and open system, with near infinite dimensions; multi-layered factors that impact properties: submarket performance, crime, tenants, financial leverage, environmental concerns, macro-economic disturbances, pandemics, inflation, the behavior of the Fed, global supply disruptions, war, borrower/guarantor attitudes and behavior, the special servicer, the list goes on.
In addition to these risk drivers, add to the system: bias, moral agency problems, broken incentives that pull players away from optimal goals/behaviors. The complexity of this challenge was at the root of the Great Financial Crisis and many if not all major CRE debt industry disruptions in the past.
Furthermore, while analyzing CRE debt instruments is intensive, costly, and requires sector specific skillsets, the work is done under crushing time constraints with market participants needing to make decisions impacted by 100’s of CRE loans in just hours. This presents an enormous challenge but also an equally large opportunity to leverage technology for CRE debt investing and analysis.
