Catch the assumption gaps before the deal carries them into IC.
DealVeto is an early-stage screen for multifamily pursuits. It applies construction-risk logic to surface assumption gaps and budget pressure, and gives development, preconstruction, and construction leadership a clear proceed, revise, reprice, pause, or stop call before the next decision gate.
Kill weak deals early - before they burn your time and money.
The problem
Most deals don't fail on price. They fail on assumptions.
Placeholder numbers harden into commitments.
Early $/unit and $/GSF assumptions move into IC decks, term sheets, and partner conversations before anyone has pressure-tested them against the actual program and site.
Construction risk surfaces too late.
Podium conditions, structured parking, MEP routing, and sitework typically surface in DD or preconstruction — after the deal already has internal momentum.
Preconstruction is pulled into weak pursuits.
Estimators burn cycles pricing deals that were never going to clear, instead of validating the pursuits that can.

Built for
Built for the people who have to defend the deal.
Role
Senior Development Manager
Defend, revise, or step away from a deal before IC, with construction-risk logic behind every call.
Role
Director of Preconstruction
Respond to incomplete assumptions in a structured way, without turning every early pursuit into a full estimate.
Role
VP Construction
See which pursuits are carrying construction risk into the pipeline before they become execution problems.
Capabilities
What DealVeto actually checks.
What it is — and isn't
An early screen, not a black-box estimator.
DealVeto does not produce a final estimate from incomplete inputs. It shows what is known, what is missing, where the budget is under pressure, and what needs preconstruction validation before the next decision gate.
- Directional early-stage screen
- Transparent, reviewable assumptions
- Explicit handling of missing inputs
- Built for preconstruction validation, not replacement
- IC-ready output
