Seven adversarial checks · four-layer module (L1–L4)
Rent Roll Integrity Reject
Rent roll given to the appraiser ≠ internal records: basement shown vacant though it earns ~$90K/yr. Plus 2 cash/no-lease units (~$40K) the lender zeroes.
−$40K NOI · integrity÷ 8.0% ≈ −$0.5M value
OpEx & NOI Flag
Insurance line missing (the classic omission); $0 capital reserves; related-party mgmt fee; ~$55K property-tax reassessment (frozen-CVA deferred).
−$80K NOI÷ 8.0% ≈ −$1.0M value
Appraisal Cap-Rate Reject
Appraiser used 5.00%; Colliers/CBRE Class B suburban office is 7.50–9.00% — below the appraiser's OWN embedded data. At 8.00% the same NOI supports ~$5.8M.
−$3.49M valuecap rate alone
Vacancy & Comp-Adj Reject
4% vacancy applied to a 59%-vacant building (peers 29%); all sales comps 100% leased, no occupancy adjustment for the subject — warrants a 30–40% discount.
−$1.0M lease-up drag→ Stabilized (C), net
Market Rent & Absorption Flag
Office at $17/sf vs $8/sf across the street (same block) — outside the 20% tolerance; subject rents −14% YoY per the appraiser's own CoStar data; absorption is structural.
rents ≈ 2.1× market→ market $8/sf in scenarios

Cards reveal in sequence during the demo. Green = pass · Amber = flag · Red = reject (status is shown by the pill and the top border, not colour alone — survives B&W print). NOI findings are capitalized into value at the market cap rate (÷ cap); methodology findings feed the four scenarios below. Each amount is traceable (see audit drawer).

Arithmetic (internal recompute, not a headline card): all rent-roll extensions, the OpEx/NOI rollup and each scenario's NOI ÷ cap are re-derived. Deltas are not simply additive — NOI and cap-rate corrections compound — so the four scenarios (below) are the authoritative re-basing.

Audit drawer (on click): Source = the appraisal's OWN embedded comp data — Colliers Class B suburban office cap 7.50–9.00%. The report concludes value at a 5.00% cap. At the midpoint 8.00%, the appraiser's own NOI (~$465K) supports ~$5.8M, not $9.3M — a $3.5M overstatement from the cap rate alone, before the sanitized rent roll, the 4% vacancy on a 59%-vacant building, and $17/sf rents in an $8/sf market.
Convert → Assisted Living (if repositioned): zoning gate CL ✗ / CR ✓ — rezoning 12–18 mo, $75–150K, no guarantee; OBC Part 3 build cost; 10-category intended-use risk. Return metric becomes Yield on Cost (acquisition + rezoning + conversion + contingency), not a stabilized cap rate.
