Variance & Anomaly Analytics
Per-category variance, anomaly badges, cap-rate burndown, and cost-creep watch all on one screen.
How the Variance Engine Works
Every monthly entry is compared against the projected value derived from your property record (or your per-month override if you re-baselined). The dashboard sorts categories by worst overrun first — taxes, insurance, HOA, utilities, maintenance, management, CapEx, and two custom categories — so you know where the money went.
- Per-category bar chart (12-month) with click-to-expand month-by-month detail
- Anomaly detection: any category >20% off its rolling 6-month baseline gets flagged
- Red badge on the NOI KPI counts active anomalies for the month
- Cap-rate burndown chart with projected reference line + trend annotation
- Cost-creep watch: maintenance %, mgmt %, vacancy % as share of EGI over time
Why This Matters
Most rental tracking tells you what happened. This one tells you what is going wrong while there is still time to fix it. By the time a 5% expense creep shows up in your year-end summary, it has cost you a year of cash flow.
- Catch expense creep months before it shows up in NOI
- Prove (or disprove) underwriting assumptions with hard data
- Spot underperforming assets while they are still salvageable
