Approach
A deal team that doesn’t stop at 6pm.
Underwriting should compound, not bottleneck. Steadwright keeps five purpose-built agents — sourcer, ingest, proforma, stress, packager — chained together, so the insight that takes a senior shop weeks keeps arriving every morning on your desk.
Compressed from analyst-weeks to hours
A traditional first pass burns 20–40 analyst hours per deal. Steadwright compresses the same screen to minutes and a full IC-ready package to a few hours.
Pipeline depth, not analyst bench size
Evaluate 10–20 deals a week without growing the team. The crews absorb the analytical load between human check-ins.
Risks surface before committee
Stress sweeps and live comp monitoring flag drift in assumptions — the IC meets a deal whose risks are already on the page, not surprises buried in the appendix.
The final call stays with you
Steadwright produces disciplined, execution-ready analysis. The decision stays where it belongs — with the deal team.
Pipeline
Five agents. One deal. End to end.
Each role is a purpose-built agent — a crew member with a defined deliverable. They chain together so a single asset can move from a listing alert to a committee-ready package without human handoff holding it up.
- 01
Sourcer
Deal sourcing that never sleeps
The sourcer watches brokers, listing platforms, and off-market channels continuously — flagging assets that fit your underwriting thesis within minutes of a hit, with the comp set already attached.
24/7 monitoring · minute-level latency
- 02
Ingest
Rent rolls and T-12s, normalized
The ingest agent pulls rent rolls, trailing-12s, and operating statements, reconciles unit-level records against the GL, and surfaces data gaps before they reach the model.
80% less cleanup per deal
- 03
Proforma
A full pro forma in hours, not weeks
The proforma agent builds hold-and-exit models, levered cash flows, return waterfalls, and reserves — every line anchored to a sourced assumption with audit-ready citations.
IRR · DSCR · NAV · promoted returns
- 04
Stress
Sensitivity, stress, and comp drift
The stress agent sweeps rents, cap rates, rates, and operating expenses across dozens of cases, then watches the live comp set for drift so yesterday’s thesis doesn’t quietly stale.

- 05
Packager
IC-ready by the morning standup
The packager agent assembles the executive summary, risk register, comp book, model appendix, and the questions the IC will ask — drafted before the deal team sits down.
Roughly 30–80 hours back per week
Outcomes
What changes once the crew is on shift.
Numbers a mid-market sponsor, a syndicator, or an emerging investment team will recognize from their own underwriting bench.
20–40h → minutes
First-pass screen
A senior underwriter’s first cut of a deal used to take 20–40 analyst hours. Steadwright reads the same inputs and produces the same screen in minutes.
30–80h / wk
Reclaimed per team
Teams evaluate 10–20 deals a week without growing headcount — the always-on crew absorbs the analytical load between committee meetings.
24/7
Between check-ins
Comp drift, comp set refreshes, and sensitivity reruns keep running overnight. The pipeline never stalls waiting for an analyst to desk in.

Now
Running Bridgemont’s advisory practice, building Steadwright on the side.
The deck is the easy part. The hard part is the sensibly sourced pro forma, the comp set that’s still current, and the assumptions that survive a tough question in the room. We built the crew we wished we had.
The next deal doesn’t have to wait for a desk-in.
Send a sample asset, a sample rent roll, or just your underwriting thesis. The crew will run a first-pass and we’ll walk you through what surfaced.
