Market studies cost $15K–$20K and overload you with noise instead of clarity
Manual pro formas break when you try to integrate AI or run live sensitivities
Teams rely on outdated benchmarks and fragmented spreadsheets

“Clear Stack gave us a full conceptual budget in 48 hours that our GC later confirmed was within 3%. It saved us weeks of back-and-forth during pre-con and gave our capital partner confidence to move forward.”
— Principal (Portland, OR)
-
“We used Clear Stack’s AI cost benchmark as a second opinion on early budgets. Their system instantly compared our concrete and framing numbers to 20+ recent projects in the region. It’s become our reality check.”
— VP of Development (San Diego, CA)
-
“Their AI-assisted budget flagged soft-cost assumptions we’d missed and normalized them against similar podium projects. The ability to vet a developer’s numbers without a full third-party report is a huge advantage.”
— Senior Analyst (Miami, FL)

Reality-Based Budgets. Delivered in 48 Hours
The Cost IQ Report brings institutional-level precision to early-stage budgeting, combining AI benchmarking with human verification to reveal where your project truly stands. Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a full conceptual cost model that covers hard costs, soft costs, contingencies, escalation, and financing impacts.
Your data is calibrated against hundreds of comparable projects — adjusted for typology, density, market, and build type — so you can instantly see if your numbers are high, low, or on target.
Whether you’re vetting land pricing, validating a GC’s estimate, or preparing for investment committee review, the Cost IQ Report gives you what most developers never have at the outset: a defensible cost baseline that saves time, money, and credibility.

Market Analysis
Real-Time Market Intelligence, Simplified

Launching soon, this report will give you the confidence to underwrite with precision and conviction — so your next decision starts with truth, not guesswork.

Privacy & Security
Your Data. Your Deals. Your Advantage.
Every developer’s pipeline is proprietary — and we treat it that way. Clear Stack safeguards your project data with secure cloud infrastructure and isolated client environments.
We don’t sell, share, or train models on your information — ever. Your deal inputs stay confidential and are used solely to generate your analysis.
Need to meet enterprise or investor-level compliance standards? We support SOC 2–aligned protocols and can provide enhanced security documentation upon request.
Your data powers your decisions — not our platform.
