Megalytics Viability Assessment
Know your tenant — protect your NOI.
An automated due diligence platform delivering rapid yet comprehensive evaluation of any portfolio, market, property, rent roll or tenant. Turnaround in hours, or two days maximum depending on the level of assessment.
The score, and everything behind it.
Every Megalytics Viability Assessment opens with the Summary Deal Score — a headline 0–500 read, the risk band it lands in, how it ranks against all assessments and its sector, and the quantitative indicators that produced it.
Nothing material buried in an appendix.
The assessment generates systematic quantitative and qualitative insights across every aspect of the analysis — lease structure, payment behavior, credit movement, industry and market conditions — each paired with plain-language context.
Where a flag carries risk, the assessment also shows the mitigation: how a security deposit or letter of credit is securitized against the underlying tenant credit, and the score effect it produces.
The lease, stress-tested.
Megalytics analyzes the lease alongside the tenant: net rent breakeven over the term, cash flow by year, lease security options drawn from tenant credit and market conditions, and the scoring methodology behind every number — so committee review starts from evidence, not assertion.
- → Net rent breakeven against the lease term
- → Lease term metrics and NPV detail
- → Cash flow by year, with totals
- → Scoring methodology, definitions and components
A credit report is one input. The lease decision is the whole picture.
A payment-history snapshot cannot explain whether a tenant can carry the proposed lease, how it compares with relevant peers, or what protection the owner should negotiate. The MVA brings those questions into one decision-ready assessment.
Credit & payment
Trade relationships, third-party credit, payment behavior, UCC filings and other public records establish the baseline — not the conclusion.
Financial capacity
Historical and interim performance, profitability, liquidity, leverage, working capital and cash flow show whether the tenant can sustain the obligation.
Business context
Corporate structure, management, ownership, competitors, industry conditions, news and qualitative signals explain what the financials alone cannot.
Deal economics
Lease term, rent, capital outlay, tenant improvements, breakeven and security options connect tenant risk directly to the proposed transaction.
The questions every lease committee needs answered.
Can this tenant support the lease?
Test financial capacity against the actual rent obligation, term and projected lease economics.
How does it compare with its peers?
Place performance in the context of the tenant’s industry rather than relying on broad, one-size-fits-all thresholds.
What could change the outcome?
Surface positive points, red flags and emerging conditions that deserve investigation before approval.
What protection is appropriate?
Evaluate security deposit and letter-of-credit options in the context of tenant credit, lease structure and market conditions.
Where is the owner most exposed?
Connect default risk to capital outlay, remaining term, rent exposure and the cost of replacing the tenant.
Can the decision be defended?
Give leasing teams and committees a consistent score, documented drivers and clear supporting evidence.
