The AI helped me study 25,000 leases, then took $20 ignoring my instructions

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. Puts models to work on a sample of 25,000 leases
  2. Looks for hand edits to standard terms
  3. Finds about 10% of tenants edit terms in their favour
  4. Writes up the findings for readers to comment on

Why it’s worth knowing

One in ten tenants had quietly changed a standard lease in their own favour, something the usual wisdom says cannot happen.
