Stop re-explaining the deal.
A financing package is a folder and a hope. The lender asks what total cost is, the LP asks what happens at a 6.25% exit, counsel asks whether the mezz is signed — and someone on your team answers each of them by hand, from memory, in a different way.
Deal Brief™ is Brieflin's first industry pack. Drop in the OM, the term sheets, the appraisal, the GMP letter and the email traffic. Send one link. Everyone gets the same deal, answered in their own terms, with every figure labelled by basis, date, and source document.
Harbor Point is a fictional deal built to show the format. Nothing in it is real.
A deal is not one story. It is four.
Recipients pick a lens. The facts stay identical — the framing, the ordering, and the caveats change to match what that reader is actually deciding.
Lenders
Sizing, coverage, guaranty structure, conditions precedent. Answers lead with what is committed versus proposed, because that is the first thing they check.
Equity partners
Returns, waterfall, sponsor co-invest, downside. Forecasts stay labelled as forecasts, with the assumption that drives them.
Project team
Schedule, entitlements, GMP, permits and who owns what. Financial detail stays out of the way.
Advisors & counsel
Documents, status, obligations, gaps. Where the record is silent, the Brief says so rather than filling it in.
Numbers are the whole job.
In a capital markets conversation, a confidently wrong figure is worse than no figure. Deal Brief is built around that.
Every number carries its basis.
Actual, budget, forecast, proposed, requested, committed. A $52M term sheet never reads like a $52M closing.
Disagreements surface, they don't average.
When two documents state a different total cost, the Brief shows both, where each came from, and which is current.
Derived figures show their work.
LTC, DSCR, debt yield, yield on cost — each one exposes its formula and inputs, so a lender can check the math instead of trusting it.
The creator approves the numbers.
Anything the model was unsure about lands in a review queue. Nothing goes to a recipient until you confirm the label.
What a recipient gets
A link. No account, no download, no login wall. A deal snapshot, then a conversation. Every answer cites the source excerpt it came from, and when the record does not support an answer, the Brief says the record does not support it — rather than producing a number that sounds right.
Send the deal once. Let it answer for itself.
