General Concepts
Lease abstraction is the process of extracting key financial and legal terms from lease documents into a structured, searchable format. It is the critical first step in lease accounting because every calculation depends on accurate abstraction of payment terms, dates, options, and clauses.
Why it matters
Traditional lease abstraction is manual, time-consuming, and error-prone. Trained analysts read lease documents and enter data into spreadsheets or systems, a process that takes 30-60 minutes per lease. Errors in abstraction cascade through every downstream calculation, making accuracy essential.
How Arvexi handles this
Arvexi's Document Intelligence automates lease abstraction using AI that reads and understands lease documents. Every extracted term comes with a confidence score and source citation pointing to the exact clause in the original document. Human review focuses on verification, not data entry.
