Common workflows
New lease abstraction
When a store lease or amendment is executed:- Provide the lease PDF (and amendments in order) to Hugo or the lease-abstraction skill.
- Review extracted fields: commencement, expiration, options, rent steps, co-tenancy, use restrictions, CAM language.
- Correct errors with citations visible.
- Save the accepted abstract or export to your lease admin workflow if enabled.
Amendment and LOI review
Before execution or during renewal:- Compare new language to the prior abstract
- Flag non-standard termination, default, or exclusive-use clauses
- Extract notification deadlines and option exercise windows
Rent roll and escalation verification
For portfolios with complex rent schedules:- Parse base rent tables and escalation triggers
- Cross-check percentage rent and breakpoint language
- Validate landlord work letter and allowance references against exhibits
Lease data quality
When lease admin data drifts from source documents:- Reconcile abstract fields against the executed PDF
- Identify missing expiration dates, notice periods, or option records
- Produce a gap list for remediation before audit season
Scanned lease corpora
Many retail tenants work from image-only PDF scans. Surfaice supports OCR and abstraction on scans, but:- Start with one known store before asking for portfolio-wide maps or rollups
- Ask Hugo how many files it read and which were skipped
- Use
ocr-transcriptionwhen you need text search before field extraction
