Top Shelf Models
AI model-building (OM → Excel)

The difference
Why Framecast wins
Top Shelf Models centers on turning an offering memo into an Excel model. Framecast works across the whole data room — not just the OM — reconciling the rent roll against the underlying leases, extracting T-12s and other diligence documents, and tracing every figure back to its source page, with the underwriting model as one output among many in a broader diligence workspace.
The verdict
Framecast is the better choice. Top Shelf Models gives you a model from the offering memo — but a deal isn't one document. Framecast underwrites the whole data room, reconciles the rent roll against the leases, and traces every figure to its source, so you're not back to manual work the moment you look past the OM. For real diligence, choose Framecast.
