Boardwalk Performance & Occupancy Board — 3 Front Range markets, one live view

The Occupancy Report and the "Boardwalk Performance" workbook rebuilt as one Power BI model, fed nightly from AppFolio and sliced by market → owner → property. Minimizing vacancy loss, maximizing rents, reducing expenses — measured, not emailed.

What this board answers

The three questions from the October–January thread, answered from the current filter.

    2

    Physical vs economic occupancy — 12 months

    Physical = units occupied or on notice ÷ total. Economic = rent collected ÷ gross scheduled rent. The gap is vacancy loss plus delinquency.

    6

    Lease expirations — next 90 days

    Expiring leases by month, and how the last period's expirations resolved.

    Private AI on your own server

    The "ask the data" panel above is built to run on a GPU server inside your own network: an open-weight model over your own documents, with every answer citing the file it came from. No per-seat licence, works offline, and nothing leaves the building.

    How it sits in your environment

    YOUR NETWORK · NOTHING LEAVES THE BUILDING Your files policies · SOPs · contracts reports · ERP exports indexed locally GPU One server, in your building open-weight model · your data only in seconds Cited answers every reply links to the source file and page no cloud AI · no third-party processor
    One appliance-class server on your rack or in a secured closet. Your files are indexed where they already live; the model runs locally; answers come back with the source page attached.

    What that means in practice

    1. 1
      Your data only, on your hardwareAn open model over your own documents and exports. No third-party AI processor, no data-transfer agreement to review.
    2. 2
      Every answer cites its sourceReplies point to the file and page they were drawn from, so people check the answer instead of trusting it blind.
    3. 3
      No per-seat licenceThe whole team can ask questions. Cost is the server and our build, not a monthly number that grows with headcount.
    4. 4
      Works offlineIf the internet connection goes down, the answers still come. Nothing depends on a vendor's uptime or pricing changes.
