AI Lease Abstraction Accuracy: Benchmarks and What to Expect
What accuracy can you realistically expect from AI lease abstraction tools? We break down field-level accuracy rates, where AI excels, where it struggles, and how to validate output.

Executed leases from DocuSign arrive as PDFs. There is no automatic way to extract the signed terms into a structured format — teams resort to manual abstraction that takes 4–8 hours per document and introduces transcription errors that compound across a portfolio.
After the lease is fully executed in DocuSign, download the completed PDF from the DocuSign envelope or your connected cloud storage.
Upload the executed PDF directly to the Lextract dashboard. The full signed document — including all riders and exhibits — can be uploaded as a single file.
Lextract processes the document and extracts all 125+ structured fields. Confidence scores flag any fields that may need review, such as complex rent escalation tables or handwritten amendments.
Export the extraction results as JSON, Excel, or CSV depending on your downstream use — property management system import, lease accounting software, or internal reporting.
Use the exported data to populate your PMS (Yardi, MRI, AppFolio) or lease accounting system. The structured fields eliminate manual re-entry and the transcription errors that come with it.

Lextract extracts the substantive lease terms from the body of the document. Signature block information such as execution date and signing party names is captured where present as structured fields.
Upload the full DocuSign PDF including all exhibits. Lextract processes the entire document and attributes extracted fields to their source pages, so you can trace each value back to the specific exhibit or rider it came from.
