Screen a Deal
Demo

See how SKS explains a deal instead of just listing numbers.

Follow one illustrative infill opportunity from a promising first impression to a CAUTION decision. The point is not the example numbers themselves; it is how SKS exposes the pressure behind the deal and turns it into a practical next action.

Watch a promising site become a clear CAUTION decision.

AddressParcelZoningDensityRevenueCostsRiskDecision
01

The site looks promising

The headline density and resale story make the opportunity worth a first look.

02

The hidden pressure appears

Civil work, cost escalation, and land-price pressure start consuming the cushion.

03

The margin tightens

Once realistic costs and carry are included, the economics no longer support an easy yes.

04

The next move changes

The deal may still work, but only if the land price or scope moves enough to restore margin.

Example deal walkthrough

The site looks good until the hidden pressure is surfaced.

01Looks viableFirst glance

4-unit infill idea with a clean resale story

02Civil pressureConstraint found

Frontage, servicing, and site work reduce the cushion

Plain-English answerDo not chase blindly

Proceed only if price, scope, or assumptions move enough to restore a real margin.

Memo walkthrough

A Site Intelligence™ property unlock stays open as the deal evolves. Each deliberate memo generation saves the current assumptions as a new immutable Underwriting Memo™ version, while earlier versions remain in the Vault.

The revenue, cost, financing, and land inputs behind the answer.

3Risks + constraints

The issues that can change the deal outcome.

4Path to viability

What would need to change for the deal to make sense.

Step 1
Screen

Run the first pass to see whether the site has a credible path or obvious pressure.

Step 2
Diagnose

Identify what is driving the result: land price, density, revenue, construction cost, civil work, or risk.

Step 3
Decide

Unlock Site Intelligence™ when the opportunity needs a deeper, shareable acquisition answer.

What the example shows

A site can look promising and still be fragile.

SKS is designed to reveal the difference between a deal that looks attractive on the surface and one that can actually support the land price after realistic costs, risk, and required profit are considered.

What to notice

The value is the translation from complexity into action.

Not just a calculator

The screen explains what the numbers mean for the land decision, not just what the numbers are.

Not just a report

The memo records the decision flow: assumptions, economics, risks, and next steps.

Built for a real conversation

The output is designed to be understandable to owners, builders, investors, and professionals without losing the important detail.
