Comparing three buildings without forcing identical sensors
Portfolio reporting works when definitions align—even if each property collects evidence differently.
Asset managers often ask for one occupancy number per building. Reality is messier: one tower has turnstile counts, another has camera estimates, a third only has meeting-room bookings and manual lobby notes. Forcing a single sensor type is expensive; aligning definitions is usually enough.
We start with a definition workshop: what counts as occupied, which hours form the core day, and how visitors are treated. Only then do we build side-by-side profiles. Readers see confidence notes where evidence is thinner.
Prioritization follows from that honesty. A building with strong midweek emptiness across multiple sources rises to the top of the action list. A building with noisy data gets a recommendation to improve sampling before major space decisions.
That approach keeps portfolio packs useful in investment meetings without pretending every asset was measured the same way.
