Ownership-side monthly review. Synthesizes property-level operating output into asset
plan reality check: variance to budget and reforecast, covenant view with cushion and
breach risk, watchlist scoring, rent-growth and trade-out, capex progress and yield,
stabilization pace for lease-up, same-store rollup. Produces the AM agenda for PM and
regional conversations, the lender compliance scaffold, and the investor-facing draft.

stale_data
Asset watchlist scoring weights, covenant cushion bands, same-store set definitions,
and variance materiality thresholds are overlay-driven. Lender compliance test
definitions come from per-loan overlays and drift. Every forward-looking number cites
a source; sample references are surfaced.

Monthly Asset Management Review
Workflow purpose
Turn property-level operating data into ownership-grade insight. At the close of each month, this review produces a property-by-property and portfolio-level view that answers: are we on plan, where is the risk, what is the next decision, and do we have an approval gate coming.
This pack is flagship-depth. It is the layer where economic_occupancy, blended_lease_trade_out, controllable_opex_per_unit, capex_spend_vs_plan, renovation_yield_on_cost, stabilization_pace_vs_plan, dscr, debt_yield, forecast_accuracy, same_store_noi_growth, and asset_watchlist_score come together. It is also the layer where ownership decisions begin to route: covenant cushion, capex deviations, lender submissions, investor submissions.
Trigger conditions
Explicit: "monthly AM review", "asset management review for March", "asset plan reality check", "watchlist update", "covenant cushion review", "same-store rollup".
Implicit: month close; AM calendar event; material variance pattern across assets; covenant cushion bar approaching breach per overlay; capex spend above plan materiality; watchlist score crossing band.
Recurring: monthly per asset; portfolio rollup monthly per organization.

Pull each asset's workflows/monthly_property_operating_review result. The AM review does not recompute property-level KPIs; it consumes them. If any property's review is not yet closed, the AM review flags the gap and holds the portfolio rollup until resolved.
Material variance is overlay-defined (dollar or percent thresholds). Anything above materiality carries a variance explanation; missing explanations flag.
Step 3. Covenant view (by loan).
For each loan:
Pull covenant definitions from reference/normalized/covenant_definitions__{loan}.yaml.
Recompute dscr, debt_yield, LTV per loan definition (follow the lender's NOI and debt-service conventions, not the generic canonical metric unless loan docs match). Use the per-loan overlay for NOI normalizations (e.g., straight-line adjustments, capex reserves, ground rent).
Compute cushion vs. covenant: current vs. test level, trend over trailing 3 and 6 months.
Cushion below overlay warning band -> covenant_cushion_breach_risk escalation: AM -> PM -> CFO. Runway table produced (when does current trend cross the test line).
If a lender compliance certificate is due (per lender calendar), produce the scaffold and open approval_request row 14 for final submission.
Step 4. Rent-growth and trade-out.
rent_growth_new_lease, rent_growth_renewal, blended_lease_trade_out by asset and portfolio.
market_to_lease_gap and loss_to_lease by asset: where is upside, where is exposure.
Gap vs. market benchmarks cited with reference as_of_date and status.
Signal on properties where blended_lease_trade_out is materially below band; route to regional and PM for pricing / retention review via workflows/renewal_retention.
Step 5. Operating discipline.
economic_occupancy trend; drivers decomposed (physical occupancy, concessions, delinquency, bad debt).
collections_rate, delinquency_rate_30plus, bad_debt_rate reviewed against overlay bands; pre-legal and legal-stage case volume surfaced from workflows/delinquency_collections.
Controllable opex per unit: payroll_per_unit, rm_per_unit, utilities_per_unit, controllable_opex_per_unit.
Non-controllable opex: insurance, property tax, management fee; call out known pending renewals or reassessments.
Step 6. Capex and renovation.
capex_spend_vs_plan per project and per asset.
Any project with spend trending above plan above overlay materiality opens a deviation view and routes to workflows/change_order_review and workflows/cost_to_complete_review.
renovation_yield_on_cost vs. underwriting target for each renovation program in play. Below underwriting - overlay threshold opens a program review.
Capex plan deviation above overlay threshold routes for approval per matrix rows 8-11 depending on dollar.
Step 7. Lease-up progression.
For any asset in lifecycle_stage=lease_up:
stabilization_pace_vs_plan weekly sparkline embedded in monthly pack.
leased_occupancy vs. budgeted lease-up curve; preleased_occupancy view.
Concession posture vs. lease-up overlay.
Next trigger points: when to step pricing, when to cut concessions, when to claim stabilization per overlay definition.
Step 8. Forecast discipline.
forecast_accuracy trailing 6 months per asset.
Systematic bias (e.g., consistently optimistic on other income) flagged.
Input to the next workflows/reforecast cycle; material bias loops back as a calibration item.
Step 9. Same-store rollup.
Apply same-store set per overlay definition (owned through both periods; excludes lease-up and recap_support by default).
Compute asset_watchlist_score per asset. Distribution surfaced; movers from green to yellow or yellow to red detailed.
Watchlist escalation path: score above overlay threshold for N consecutive months -> asset_manager -> portfolio_manager -> executive review.
Step 11. AM agenda for each property.
For each asset, produce a short agenda the AM will run with the PM and regional:
Three to five talking points grounded in the data.
Open approvals awaiting decisions.
Known risks (covenant, capex, renovation yield, collections).
Specific asks (data gaps, policy questions).
Step 12. Lender and investor submission paths.
If lender compliance certificate is due, the scaffold is drafted and opens approval_request row 14.
If investor or LP monthly update is due, the narrative is drafted and opens approval_request row 15 (asset) or row 16 (board / regulator view).
All submissions are draft_for_review; nothing sends without an approved record.
Step 13. Fair-housing surface-up.
Any fair-housing flag surfaced in child workflows is surfaced at the AM review. The AM review does not "close" fair-housing flags; it verifies they are on approved-request paths (row 3) and visible to ownership.
Step 14. Confidence banner.
Every reference cited with as_of_date and status. Sample or starter references never presented as operating fact without the tag. Stale references (> overlay staleness threshold) marked stale.
Metrics used
See frontmatter metrics_used — the full asset-management family plus relevant operating slugs.
Covenant cushion approaching breach -> AM -> PM -> CFO.
Watchlist score escalation -> AM -> PM -> executive.
Capex plan deviation above materiality -> construction_manager + AM -> approval rows 8-11 per dollar.
Lender compliance certificate due -> approval row 14.
Investor or LP submission due -> approval row 15 or 16.
Fair-housing flag surfaced from children -> verified on row 3 path.
Material variance pattern across assets -> AM -> PM -> portfolio_manager.
Required approvals
Capex plan deviation above threshold (rows 8-11).
Lender compliance submission (row 14).
Investor / board submission (rows 15 / 16).
Any action flagged human_approval_required by overlay.
Failure modes
Recomputing property-level KPIs with slightly different defaults than the property review. Fix: AM review consumes property output; it never recomputes property-level.
Covenant view using generic metric defaults instead of loan-doc definitions. Fix: covenant view is per-loan overlay-driven.
Same-store rollup without freezing the set. Fix: same-store set is an overlay reference, versioned.
Watchlist scoring without surfacing drivers. Fix: scoring always reports the top three drivers.
Capex deviation not routed for approval. Fix: automatic approval routing by dollar threshold.
Silent sample-data usage. Fix: confidence banner.
Lender submission without approval. Fix: row 14 gate.
Fair-housing flag buried in a property review and not surfaced to ownership. Fix: AM review echoes every child fair-housing flag.
Edge cases
Asset transferred mid-period (acquisition or disposition): same-store exclusion; variance calc starts at ownership date; operating narrative scoped.
Loan maturity within 12 months: refi runway view embedded; sensitivity to current rate environment.
Property mid-renovation with partial stabilization: hybrid view; renovation pro-forma vs. classic operating separately; renovation_yield_on_cost computed on completed units only.
Lender compliance certificate waived (non-event month): scaffold not produced; runway view still updated.
Reforecast behind schedule: AM review explicitly notes reforecast asof and impact on forward view.
Example invocations
"Run the monthly AM review for the South End portfolio. Include covenant cushion, watchlist, and same-store rollup."
