How Billing Works

You: "Screen this deal at 123 Main St, 180 units, $40M loan"

Claude → pinchfin: estimates cost
pinchfin → Claude: "Estimated cost: $0.15-$0.40. Your balance: $47.20. Proceed?"

You: "Yes"

Claude → pinchfin: executes screening
pinchfin → Claude: results + "Cost: $0.28 | Balance: $46.92"

You always see the estimate first. You always confirm. You only pay actual usage.

Cost Planning

Scenario	Typical Cost	What You Get
Quick screen	~$0.25	Pass/fail with key metrics and flags
Quick review	~$3 – $6	Bundled 10-phase mini-workflow: screen, data pull, market, comps, rent roll, cash flow, narrative, memo, deal record, audit log
Individual module	~$0.50 – $2	Single focused analysis (sponsor, market, comps, etc.)
Full workflow	Coming post-beta	Complete multi-phase underwriting

Budget tip: Start with a screen (~$0.25). If it passes, run a quick review ($3-6). Individual modules let you go deeper on specific areas.

What You Get

For Lenders

Screen inbound deals in seconds. Size loans against your credit parameters. Generate IC memos. Investigate nuance (ground leases, tax abatements, rent stabilization, affordable overlays) without slowing down the pipeline.

For Brokers

Compare term sheets side by side. Run debt sizing previews for borrower conversations. Price loans with rate build-up and rate cap analysis. Screen deals before sending them out.

For Sponsors

Evaluate business plan feasibility. Analyze renovation ROI by scope tier. Preview how much you can borrow before approaching lenders. Research markets and comps independently.

Quick Review Workflow

The fastest path from "I just got a deal" to "here's my analysis" — a bundled 10-phase mini-workflow (QR-0 through QR-9):

1. QR-0: Screen → Pass/fail against credit parameters
2. QR-1: Data Pull → SOFR, Census, BLS, FEMA, Walk Score
3. QR-2: Market Snapshot → Quick submarket fundamentals
4. QR-3: Quick Comps → 3-5 rent comps, 2-3 sale comps
5. QR-4: Rent Roll Scan → Validation and anomaly flags
6. QR-5: Mini Cash Flow → As-Is + Stabilized NOI, constraint-based sizing
7. QR-6: Narrative → Strengths, risks, DD questions, needs list
8. QR-7: One-Page Memo → Professional DOCX output
9. QR-8: Deal Record → Standardized JSON + markdown
10. QR-9: Audit Log → Full execution trail

Suitable for initial deal evaluation, internal discussion, and deciding whether to commit to full underwriting.

One-command version: Use pinchfin_quick_review to run all 10 phases as a single tool call. Cost: ~$2-$6.

Full Underwriting Workflow — Coming Post-Beta

The complete multi-phase institutional workflow covers deal intake through credit decision, including document synthesis, sponsor diligence, market and comparable research, lender rent derivation, cash flow underwriting, valuation, loan sizing, structuring, risk assessment, and IC memo generation. Currently optimized for multifamily and mixed-use transitional and stabilized assets. Additional asset classes are in development.

Record and transcribe all deal-related calls. Conversations contain critical deal intelligence that rarely appears in documents.

Tips for Best Results

1. Be specific. Include property type, location, unit count, loan amount, and sponsor details.
2. Provide context. Brief the system like you'd brief a senior credit analyst.
3. Synthesize first. Process transcripts and emails before running analysis.
4. Start with screen. A $0.25 screen can save you from running $6 of analysis on a deal that doesn't work.
5. Use the right tool for your role. Lenders: screen → quick review → IC memo. Brokers: debt sizing preview → term sheet comparator. Sponsors: business plan analysis → renovation ROI.
