Which CAM provisions cause the most reconciliation errors?

Caps and exclusions, because they are tenant-specific and easy to apply from the wrong lease. Gross-up provisions are the other frequent source: they change the denominator, so an error there moves every tenant's share at once rather than one tenant's.

Can this handle tenants with different proportionate share methods?

Yes — that is the reason to extract each lease's own definition rather than applying one method across the property. Denominators differ (occupied area versus total area, with or without anchors), and using a single method for a mixed rent roll is the most common way a reconciliation is wrong for a whole building.

Does this replace our property management system's CAM module?

No. It produces the tenant-specific inputs — inclusions, exclusions, caps, share method — that the billing system applies. The extraction is what is automated, not the billing.

The Problem

CAM reconciliation is one of the most error-prone processes in CRE property management. Manual reconciliation requires cross-referencing each tenant's unique lease provisions against actual expenses — a slow, tenant-by-tenant process for a mid-size property that generates significant tenant disputes.

Step-by-Step Automation Workflow

Extract each tenant's own CAM provisions

Extract lease-specific CAM provisions for every tenant (inclusions, exclusions, caps, proportionate share method, gross-up requirements) using AI abstraction.

Classify GL expenses against each lease's definitions

Classify actual GL expenses against each tenant's specific lease definitions.

Apply caps, exclusions and fee limits per tenant

Apply tenant-specific adjustments (caps, exclusions, management fee limits) automatically.

Calculate each tenant's proportionate share

Calculate each tenant's proportionate share using the correct methodology.

Generate statements with an audit trail to source

Generate reconciliation statements with audit trails linking every charge to source data.

Flag variances for human review before distribution

Flag variances and anomalies for human review before distribution.

Time Saved

Each tenant's CAM provisions are read from the lease and cited to the clause, so the reconciliation starts from the lease terms rather than from a manual search for them

Cost Impact

Recovery of previously misallocated charges, plus elimination of tenant audit-driven clawbacks
