Leases

Lease Abstraction Automation

Abstracting a lease by hand takes hours and produces a summary nobody trusts a year later. Almas extracts the terms into structured data, with a review step and a link back to the source clause.

What we automate

Clause-level extraction

Rent, term, break options, review dates, service charge and repair obligations captured as structured fields.

Source traceability

Every extracted value links back to the clause it came from, so review takes seconds.

Review workflow

Low-confidence fields are routed for human confirmation before they reach the system of record.

Portfolio search

Once abstracted, obligations are searchable across the whole portfolio rather than per document.

Before and after

Without automation

  • Hours spent abstracting each lease by hand
  • Abstracts that drift out of date after variations
  • No way to search obligations across the portfolio
  • Critical dates re-keyed into a spreadsheet

With Almas Software Systems

  • Abstraction in minutes with clause-level traceability
  • Variations processed through the same pipeline
  • Obligations searchable portfolio-wide
  • Critical dates written straight into the system of record

In practice

How this works in a real operation

A team facing a 400-lease backlog was quoting months of analyst time. Automated extraction with a review step cleared the backlog in weeks, and every field can be traced back to the clause it came from.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is automated lease abstraction?

Accuracy is high on standard commercial leases, and the review workflow exists precisely so unusual drafting is confirmed by a person rather than assumed.

Can it handle scanned leases?

Yes. Scanned documents are processed with OCR before extraction.

Where does the abstracted data go?

Into your lease or property management system through the integration layer, so it is usable rather than sitting in a report.
