Where revenue leaks in this sector.
The five common failure modes I see when I survey a new operator in this space.
01
Portfolio blindness
You cannot compare two assets on the dimensions that matter because the data came from two different property managers with two different definitions.
02
Retrofit math fiction
ROI models for insulation, heat pumps, solar are built on regional assumptions that don't match the actual building.
03
Tenant ops in email
Service requests, maintenance history, tenant sentiment — all locked in inboxes no one reads fully.
04
ESG as a scramble
Once-a-year panic to produce numbers that should have been live all along.
The playbook, applied to real estate.
Same five phases every time — here's what they look like in this sector.
01
Survey
Site visits. Property manager interviews. Read the last five ESG reports and find where the data came from.
02
Blueprint
Unified asset model across every property manager's data format. Define the numbers first, then build the UI.
03
Build
Portfolio dashboard that works for the asset manager AND the ops team. Same source of truth.
04
Commission
Verify every aggregate against the underlying utility bills. If the dashboard disagrees with the invoice, the dashboard is wrong.
05
Operate
Weekly cadence with the ops team. ESG reporting becomes a live surface, not an annual fire drill.
