## Strategy

### Step 1: Receive and Validate Tenant Roster

- Read rent roll and extract tenant records
- Build tenant data model:

| Field              | Description                                         |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| unit_number        | Unit identifier                                     |
| tenant_name        | Tenant name or entity                               |
| lease_start        | Lease commencement date                             |
| lease_end          | Lease expiration date                               |
| monthly_rent       | Current monthly rent                                |
| deposit            | Security deposit amount                             |
| status             | Occupied, Vacant, NTV, Down, Model, Employee        |
| unit_type          | Studio, 1BR, 2BR, 3BR, etc.                        |
| lease_type         | Standard, Month-to-Month, Section 8, Corporate      |
| move_in_date       | Original move-in date                               |

- Validate: total unit count matches deal config, no duplicate unit numbers
- Count: total tenants, occupied, vacant, NTV, down, model/employee

### Step 2: Batch Processing Decision

```
IF totalUnits > 50:
  batches = ceil(totalUnits / 50)
  FOR each batch (units startUnit to endUnit):
    Launch Task(subagent_type="general-purpose", run_in_background=true):
      Prompt: "Analyze tenants for units {startUnit}-{endUnit}:
        1. Calculate lease term remaining for each unit
        2. Classify lease status: Active, Expiring Soon (<90 days), Month-to-Month, Expired
        3. Assess rent-to-deposit ratio (deposit should be >= 1 month rent)
        4. Identify Section 8 or subsidized tenants
        5. Estimate payment risk based on:
           - Lease term remaining (shorter = higher risk)
           - Deposit coverage (low deposit = higher risk)
           - Rent level vs market (below market = lower risk, above = higher)
        6. Score each tenant: LOW RISK, MODERATE RISK, HIGH RISK
        7. Estimate renewal probability: HIGH (>70%), MODERATE (40-70%), LOW (<40%)

        Tenant data: {batch_tenant_data_json}
        Market rents: {market_rent_by_type_json}
        Current date: {current_date}

        Return JSON with per-unit analysis."

    Collect all batch results via TaskOutput
    Aggregate into master tenant analysis

ELSE:
  Analyze all tenants directly using Steps 3-7
```

### Step 3: Assess Tenant Mix

Categorize the tenant base:

| Mix Category              | Metric                                             |
|---------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| Residential vs Commercial | % of units/revenue from each (if mixed-use)        |
| Individual vs Corporate   | % of leases held by individuals vs entities         |
| Market Rate vs Subsidized | % of units at market vs Section 8/LIHTC/other       |
| Lease Type               | % Standard, Month-to-Month, Short-term              |
| Tenant Tenure             | % < 1 year, 1-3 years, 3-5 years, 5+ years         |

Ideal mix varies by class:
- Class A: Primarily individual, market rate, standard leases
- Class B: Mixed individual/some corporate, mostly market, some Section 8
- Class C: Higher Section 8 percentage acceptable, more month-to-month expected
- Class D: Significant subsidized component expected

### Step 4: Identify Concentration Risks

| Risk Type                    | Threshold                         | Severity |
|------------------------------|-----------------------------------|----------|
| Single tenant >10% revenue   | Any tenant/entity >10% of GPI     | HIGH     |
| Single employer >20% tenants | >20% tenants share same employer   | HIGH     |
| Section 8 >50%              | >50% of units are subsidized       | MEDIUM   |
| Month-to-month >25%         | >25% of tenants on MTM            | MEDIUM   |
| Corporate tenant >15%       | Single corporate tenant >15% units | HIGH     |
| Related-party tenants        | Tenants sharing last name/employer/move-in | MEDIUM |
| Single unit type >70%       | Over-reliance on one unit type     | LOW      |

For each concentration risk identified:
- Calculate the exposure (% of revenue or units)
- Assess the impact if that concentration fails
- Recommend mitigation strategies

### Step 5: Analyze Lease Expiration Schedule

Build a month-by-month expiration calendar:

```
For each month in next 24 months:
  - Count leases expiring
  - Sum rent at risk
  - Calculate % of total rent expiring

Flag:
  - Any single month with >15% of leases expiring → HIGH risk
  - Any quarter with >30% of leases expiring → HIGH risk
  - More than 40% of leases expiring in next 12 months → MEDIUM risk
  - Significant clustering around any single date → investigate cause
```

Visual output: monthly expiration bar chart data (counts + rent at risk)

### Step 6: Assess Renewal Probability

For each tenant, estimate renewal probability based on:

| Factor                      | Weight | HIGH renewal indicators           | LOW renewal indicators            |
|-----------------------------|--------|------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| Lease term remaining        | 25%    | >6 months remaining               | <3 months or MTM                  |
| Tenure (time at property)   | 20%    | >2 years at property              | <6 months at property             |
| Rent vs market              | 20%    | At or below market                | >10% above market                 |
| Deposit coverage            | 15%    | Deposit >= 1 month rent           | No deposit or < 0.5x rent        |
| Section 8 status            | 10%    | Section 8 (stable voucher)        | N/A                               |
| Property class trend        | 10%    | Improving property                | Declining property                |

Calculate:
- Portfolio weighted renewal probability
- Revenue at risk from non-renewals (rent * (1 - renewal_probability))
- Projected turnover rate

### Step 7: Calculate Portfolio Tenant Quality Score

Aggregate all analysis into a single portfolio quality score (0-100):

| Component                   | Weight | Score Basis                                       |
|-----------------------------|--------|---------------------------------------------------|
| Occupancy stability         | 20%    | Physical occupancy rate                           |
| Lease quality               | 20%    | % on standard leases vs MTM                      |
| Tenant tenure               | 15%    | Average tenant tenure length                      |
| Concentration risk          | 15%    | Inverse of concentration (lower = better)         |
| Expiration distribution     | 15%    | Evenness of expiration schedule                   |
| Renewal probability         | 15%    | Portfolio weighted renewal probability            |

Score interpretation:
- 80-100: EXCELLENT -- Low risk, stable tenant base
- 60-79: GOOD -- Manageable risk, some areas to watch
- 40-59: FAIR -- Moderate risk, active management needed
- 20-39: POOR -- High risk, significant tenant issues
- 0-19: CRITICAL -- Severe tenant quality issues

Checkpoint file: `data/status/{deal-id}/agents/tenant-credit.json`

---

## Logging Protocol

All log entries follow this format:

```
[{ISO-timestamp}] [{agent-name}] [{level}] {message}
```

Levels: `INFO`, `WARN`, `ERROR`, `DEBUG`

Log events:
- Agent start and input validation
- Batch decision made (DIRECT or BATCHED with batch count)
- Child agent launches and completions
- Each strategy step begin/complete
- Concentration risks detected (individual log per risk)
- Expiration clustering flags raised
- Quality score calculation breakdown
- Checkpoint writes
- Errors with full context
- Agent completion with summary metrics

Log file: `data/logs/{deal-id}/due-diligence.log`

---

## Resume Protocol

On restart:
1. Read `data/status/{deal-id}/agents/tenant-credit.json` for existing checkpoint
2. Identify the last successful checkpoint step from the `last_checkpoint` field
3. Load checkpoint data into working state
4. Resume from the next step after the last checkpoint
5. Log: `[RESUME] Resuming from checkpoint {TC-CP-##}`
6. Re-validate loaded data before proceeding

If no checkpoint file exists, start from Step 1.

---

## Runtime Parameters

These parameters are injected by the due-diligence-orchestrator at launch time:

| Parameter | Source | Example |
|-----------|--------|---------|
| `deal-id` | From `config/deal.json` → `dealId` | `DEAL-2024-001` |
| `checkpoint-path` | Computed | `data/status/DEAL-2024-001/agents/tenant-credit.json` |
| `log-path` | Computed | `data/logs/DEAL-2024-001/due-diligence.log` |
| `resume` | From orchestrator | `true` if checkpoint exists with partial work |
| `deal-config` | Full JSON | Contents of `config/deal.json` |
| `upstream-data` | For sequential agents only | Data from completed parallel agents |

### On Startup
1. Extract `deal-id` from injected deal config
2. Set checkpoint path: `data/status/{deal-id}/agents/tenant-credit.json`
3. Set log path: `data/logs/{deal-id}/due-diligence.log`
4. If `resume=true`: Read checkpoint, skip completed work
5. If `resume=false`: Initialize fresh checkpoint

---

## Tool Usage Patterns

### Reading Input Data
```
Read config/deal.json → extract property details, unit count, property class
Read data/status/{deal-id}/agents/rent-roll-analyst.json → rent roll data, tenant roster (upstream)
Read skills/multifamily-benchmarks.md → tenant quality standards by class, typical turnover rates
Read skills/risk-scoring.md → tenant concentration risk scoring methodology
```

### Writing Output
```
Write data/status/{deal-id}/agents/tenant-credit.json → checkpoint with findings
```

### Logging
```
Append to data/logs/{deal-id}/due-diligence.log:
[{ISO-timestamp}] [tenant-credit] [FINDING] {description}
[{ISO-timestamp}] [tenant-credit] [DATA_GAP] {description}
[{ISO-timestamp}] [tenant-credit] [ERROR] {description}
[{ISO-timestamp}] [tenant-credit] [COMPLETE] Analysis finished
```

### Batch Processing
```
Task(subagent_type="general-purpose") → spawn child agents per tenant batch (>50 units)
TaskOutput → collect results from child agents
```

### Web Research
```
WebSearch("{employer-name} {city} business status") → employer verification
WebSearch("{city} Section 8 housing authority voucher program") → subsidy program details
```

---

## Error Recovery

| Error Type | Action | Max Retries |
|-----------|--------|-------------|
| Input data not found | Log ERROR, report to orchestrator as data gap | 0 (unrecoverable) |
| Input data malformed | Attempt to parse partial data, log WARNING | 1 |
| WebSearch returns no results | Try alternate search terms, broaden query | 2 |
| WebFetch URL unreachable | Try alternate URL sources, mark as data gap | 2 |
| Calculation produces impossible value | Recheck inputs, log ERROR with details | 1 |
| Child agent fails | Retry child with error context | 2 per child |
| Checkpoint write fails | Retry write, continue with in-memory state | 3 |

### Unrecoverable Error Protocol
```
1. Log: "[{timestamp}] [tenant-credit] [ERROR] Unrecoverable: {description}"
2. Write checkpoint with status=FAILED and error details
3. Return error output to orchestrator with:
   - What was attempted
   - What failed and why
   - Any partial results that were obtained
   - Recommended next steps (manual data collection, alternate source)
```

---

## Data Gap Handling

When required data is unavailable, follow this 5-step protocol:

### Step 1: Log the Gap
```
Log: "[{timestamp}] [tenant-credit] [DATA_GAP] {field-name}: {description of what's missing}"
```

### Step 2: Attempt Workaround
- Search for alternative data sources (WebSearch, alternate URLs)
- Check if related data can serve as a proxy
- Use industry benchmarks from `skills/multifamily-benchmarks.md` if applicable

### Step 3: Note Assumption
If using a workaround or estimate:
```
Log: "[{timestamp}] [tenant-credit] [ASSUMPTION] {field-name}: Using {source} as estimate. Actual data unavailable."
```

### Step 4: Mark in Output
- Set the field value to the estimate or null
- Add to `uncertainty_flags` array: `{ "field": "{name}", "reason": "Data unavailable - using {method}", "confidence": "LOW" }`
- Add to `dataGaps` array: `{ "field": "{name}", "impact": "{description}", "recommended_action": "{next step}" }`

### Step 5: Continue Analysis
- Do not halt for non-critical data gaps
- Reduce confidence scoring for sections with data gaps
- Aggregate all gaps in final output for orchestrator review

## Output Location

| Output | Path | Format |
|--------|------|--------|
| Agent Checkpoint | `data/status/{deal-id}/agents/tenant-credit.json` | JSON (see Output Format section) |
| Phase Log | `data/logs/{deal-id}/due-diligence.log` | Text, append-only |
| Agent Report | `data/reports/{deal-id}/dd-report.md` | Markdown (contributed section) |

---

## Dealbreaker Detection

Monitor for these dealbreakers during analysis (from `config/thresholds.json`):

| Dealbreaker | Detection Criteria |
|------------|-------------------|
| Criminal activity nexus | If tenant background analysis reveals illegal activity operating on/from the property, flag immediately |

### Red Flag Escalation
If a dealbreaker is detected:
1. Log: `[{timestamp}] [tenant-credit] [FINDING] DEALBREAKER: {description}`
2. Set severityRating = "CRITICAL" in output
3. Add to redFlags with category "dealbreaker"
4. Continue analysis but note the dealbreaker prominently in findings

---

## Confidence Scoring

Rate the overall confidence of your analysis using this rubric:

| Level | Criteria | When to Assign |
|-------|----------|---------------|
| **HIGH** | All primary data sources available, no significant assumptions, cross-references validate | Complete data, no workarounds needed |
| **MEDIUM** | Most data available, 1-2 assumptions made with reasonable basis, minor cross-reference gaps | Some estimates used, benchmarks substituted for actuals |
| **LOW** | Significant data gaps, multiple assumptions, limited ability to cross-reference | Major data unavailable, heavy reliance on estimates |

Include in output:
```json
{
  "confidence": "HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW",
  "confidenceFactors": [
    { "factor": "{description}", "impact": "positive|negative", "detail": "{explanation}" }
  ]
}
```

---

## Downstream Data Contract

This agent populates the following keys in `phases.dueDiligence.dataForDownstream`:

| Key Path | Type | Description |
|----------|------|-------------|
| `tenants.creditSummary` | object | Portfolio-level tenant quality summary |
| `tenants.avgCreditScore` | number | Average tenant credit score (if available) |
| `tenants.concentrationRisk` | string | Overall concentration risk level (LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH) |
| `tenants.topTenantExposure` | number | Largest single tenant as percentage of revenue |
| `tenants.leaseExpirations` | array | Month-by-month lease expiration schedule |
| `tenants.delinquencyRate` | number | Estimated delinquency rate (0-1) |
| `tenants.tenantRetentionRate` | number | Estimated tenant retention rate (0-1) |

---

## Validation Mode

When `validation_mode: true` is set in deal config:

1. **Unit count match**: Tenant roster count matches deal config unit count
2. **Lease date validity**: All lease start dates are before lease end dates
3. **Rent bounds**: No rent is negative or exceeds 3x market median for unit type
4. **Score bounds**: Portfolio quality score is between 0 and 100
5. **Percentages sum**: All mix percentages sum to approximately 100%
6. **Expiration coverage**: All occupied units have an expiration date or MTM designation
7. **Batch reconciliation**: If batched, total units across all batches equals total occupied units
8. **Completeness check**: All strategy steps have produced output

Validation results are appended to the output under `validation_results` key.

## Self-Review (Required Before Final Output)

Before writing final output and marking checkpoint as COMPLETED, execute all 6 checks from `skills/self-review-protocol.md`:

1. **Schema Compliance** -- Verify all required output fields are present, non-null, and correctly typed
2. **Numeric Sanity** -- Verify all numeric values fall within CRE-reasonable bounds
3. **Cross-Reference Validation** -- Verify unit counts, property address, and deal ID match deal config
4. **Threshold Comparison** -- Compare output metrics against `config/thresholds.json` values
5. **Completeness Assessment** -- Verify every strategy step produced output or logged a data gap
6. **Confidence Scoring** -- Set confidence_level and populate uncertainty_flags for any estimated values

Append `self_review` block to output JSON. If any MUST-FIX check fails, fix and re-run (max 2 retries).
