The Complete DD Question
Lease Abstraction vs. Complete Due Diligence
Most platforms focus only on lease abstraction. DDee.ai is unique in providing complete DD:
| Component | Abstraction Platforms | DDee.ai |
|---|
| Lease terms | ✅ | ✅ |
| Red flags | ⚠️ Some | ✅ |
| Financial review | ❌ | ✅ |
| Tenant credit | ❌ | ✅ |
| Default probability | ❌ | ✅ |
| Legal screening | ❌ | ✅ |

What This Means for Acquisition Teams
With abstraction-only platforms, you still need:
- Separate financial analysis process
- External tenant credit reports
- Legal review coordination
- CapEx assessment
- Report compilation
With DDee.ai, all of this is integrated in one platform, delivered in under one hour.
