CAM reconciliation for commercial real estate
Common-area reconciliation is arithmetic performed against contract terms — each lease has its own base year, its own caps, its own exclusions — and it is almost always done once a year from documents rather than from data. That is why it is late, why it produces tenant disputes, and why the recoverable amounts a firm is entitled to are frequently left on the table. The accounting problem is downstream of a data problem.

What usually breaks
Before anything gets built.
The same failures recur across commercial real estate. Strygon maps the specific system before proposing anything, but these are the ones worth checking for.
The pipeline is somebody's file
Deals live in a producer's own spreadsheet with their own stage names. Nothing rolls up to the firm, comparison across producers is impossible, and a departure takes the pipeline out of the door with it.
Notice windows pass quietly
Expirations, renewal options, escalations, and estoppel deadlines sit inside lease PDFs. Nothing watches them, and a window missed by a week is a rent number that never corrects.
The quarterly package is a rebuild
Ownership and investor reporting is reconstructed every quarter from a rent roll, a bank export, and recollection. It arrives late, it is hard to defend line by line, and it consumes the people who should be working deals.
The approach
What Strygon does about it.
Accounting & financial operations, aimed at those failures specifically rather than at a generic checklist.
What gets built

Send the situation in a paragraph. Strygon comes back with a read on what’s likely wrong and what it would take to fix, before anyone talks about price.
Most builds start withleads dying in an inbox., three half-finished pipelines., follow-up nobody owns., numbers that never agree., four vendors blaming each other.
