You can read why every match is a match.
Each listing runs against every live requirement. Gates first, then a score into Strong, Moderate, Weak or Referral. The table shows both sides’ numbers and what each check did, including the ones that said no.

Re: space near the airport
Dana, good talking just now. We need fifteen to twenty thousand feet in Alder County, twenty-four clear, at least four docks. Spring if we can. Budget is a board question, I’ll come back on that. Send me whatever you have.

Ask the book. Every answer cites a record.
A chat over your firm’s records. Each claim carries the record it came from, and the answer says what was searched and what came back empty. Connect Claude Desktop through MCP and ask from there.
Ask
Who wants industrial over 15,000 SF in Alder?
Two live requirements. Hale Freight Lines (REQ-0012) wants 15,000–20,000 SF to lease in Alder County, stated by Desmond Hale on Oct 2. Lindell Packaging (REQ-0027) wants 20,000–30,000 SF to buy, but in Brennan only, so Alder is outside its box.
Tess Harrow (CON-0004) carried six industrial boxes of 10,000–30,000 SF in Alder. All expired by Nov 2025 and are out of the pool.

Rules the engine keeps.
A brokerage’s memory fails in small ways: a copied column, a guessed number, a record someone cleaned up. These rules stop that here.
- 1
The match is arithmetic.
Gates, scores, tiers and freshness run in tested code. Claude reads email and PDFs and writes the explanation. It never decides who matches.
- 2
A blank stays blank.
If a buyer never said a price, the price is empty and that gate is skipped. A guessed number would quietly drop them from every match. When Pete Galloway’s import put 12,000 in his price column, the engine treated it as unknown and kept him in.
- 3
Every fact says where it came from.
Who said it, the quote, the day it was true, when it was last confirmed and when it lapses. Freshness decays from that date, so an old box ranks below a fresh one and still shows up.
- 4
Nothing is deleted.
Expired and merged records change status and stay on file. Tess Harrow’s six expired boxes are why she is the first broker to call on Alder industrial.
- 5
Your book is only yours.
Every row carries your firm’s id and the database enforces it on every query. Gmail is connected read-only, and a captured fact cites the message by its id instead of keeping a copy.
- 6
You can leave with all of it.
An admin exports the whole book as a Markdown vault that opens in Obsidian. While you’re here, Claude can read the book through a read-only MCP token.

What firms ask on the first call.
Who is CRE Brain for?
Boutique commercial real estate brokerages of two to twenty-five brokers that sell and lease on relationships, and lose requirements to inboxes and memory.
Does the AI decide the matches?
No. Matching follows fixed rules that give the same answer every time, and we check them automatically before every release. The AI only reads messy input such as emails and PDFs and writes the explanations, and a broker reviews every record it suggests.
What do we need to start?
An export of the book you keep today, as CSV or XLSX, and optionally each broker’s Gmail. Matches start with the import, and the first digest goes out on the next digest day.
Where does our data live, and who can see it?
In a secure database where every record is tagged to your firm, and the system blocks anyone outside your firm from reaching it. Your brokers see your firm’s book and nothing else, and no other firm can see yours.
Is the AI trained on our data?
No. We never train AI on your records or email, and our AI provider’s terms forbid it too. If a broker connects their own AI assistant, that account’s terms apply.
Can we get our data out?
Yes. An admin can export the whole book as a Markdown vault, which opens in Obsidian, at any time.
What does it cost?
CRE Brain is priced per broker seat. We’re onboarding design-partner firms now: get started and we’ll walk you through it.
