During an acquisition, a data room may contain 20–100 lease PDFs that all need to be abstracted and verified before LOI or contract signing. Manual review at this scale is a bottleneck that extends due diligence timelines and increases the risk of missing material lease provisions.
Export all executed leases and amendments from the data room (VDR) to a local folder for upload to Lextract.
Upload all lease PDFs to Lextract. Use the batch processing feature to queue all documents simultaneously.
Lextract surfaces red flag clauses — co-tenancy provisions, go-dark rights, below-market options — alongside confidence alerts for fields that need manual verification.
Export all lease abstracts as a consolidated Excel matrix with one row per lease and columns for every key field — ideal for presentation to the investment committee.
Use the extracted data and red flag summary to prepare the due diligence lease memo identifying material risks, below-market leases, and near-term expirations.
