Every vendor who requests a meeting with a multifamily operator shows up with the same preparation: an ROI calculator, a case study from a comparable property, and projected outcomes carefully designed to close a deal.
None of it tells you what the technology will actually do at your property.
That gap between vendor projections and real-world performance is one of the most persistent and expensive problems in multifamily technology adoption. An Impact Analysis Report from PropTech IQ is designed to close it, and it costs the operator nothing.
What Is an Impact Analysis Report?
An Impact Analysis Report is an independent, community-specific forecast of how a specific proptech solution is projected to affect a property’s NOI and operations. It is generated by PropTech IQ, not the vendor, using a combination of live market data, real implementation benchmarks, and the community’s own property profile.
The output is a data-backed projection of what the technology will do at that specific property. Not industry averages. Not a case study from a different market. A forecast built around the actual community being evaluated.
That distinction matters because proptech performance is highly context-dependent. A solution that delivers strong results at a Class A urban high-rise in a coastal market may perform very differently at a suburban garden-style community in the Midwest. Vendor case studies rarely account for those differences. An Impact Analysis Report is built specifically to address them.
How the Process Works
The process is straightforward and does not require significant time or resources from the operator’s team.
- The vendor submits your community data and their proposed pricing to PropTech IQ.
- PropTech IQ generates a complete impact analysis using live market data, energy costs, vacancy benchmarks, and real implementation data from comparable deployments.
- The operator receives the report alongside the vendor’s proposal, giving them an independent, third-party view of projected outcomes before any decision is made.
The entire process is designed to integrate into the existing vendor evaluation workflow rather than replace it. Operators continue their normal review process. The Impact Analysis Report adds an independent data layer that was not previously available to them.
The Data Behind Every Report
Accuracy and methodology
+/- 10% accuracy vs. real-world post-deployment outcomes
5,000+ units of real implementation data behind every analysis
PropTech IQ’s impact analysis methodology is built on data from over 5,000 deployed units across real multifamily implementations. The firm’s projections track within plus or minus 10 percent of actual post-deployment outcomes, a level of accuracy that makes it a meaningful tool for making decisions, not just a directional estimate.
That methodology is recognized by RETTC and NMHC, which partner with PropTech IQ on research and analysis for the broader multifamily operator community. When the industry’s most trusted technology organizations need independent proptech analysis, PropTech IQ is who they call.
What It Costs Operators
Nothing. Impact Analysis Reports are always free for multifamily owners, developers, and managers. The cost is covered by the technology vendor as part of their engagement with PropTech IQ. There are no hidden fees, no upsells, and no obligation to proceed with any vendor after receiving the report.
The model is structured this way deliberately. Operators should have access to independent data without having to pay for the privilege of getting a fair evaluation. The vendor covers the cost because they benefit from the process too: a PropTech IQ report that supports their claims is a far more credible selling tool than any case study they could produce themselves.
Make It a Standard Part of Every Evaluation
Industry research from NMHC and RETTC consistently points to the same finding: the biggest barrier to good technology decisions is not a shortage of options. It is the absence of independent, property-specific data at the moment a decision is being made.
The operators making the best technology decisions in 2026 are not evaluating more vendors. They are evaluating every vendor with better information. Building the habit of requesting an Impact Analysis Report before every vendor meeting is the simplest structural change an operator can make to improve the quality of their technology decisions across the board.
The Impact Analysis Reports provided by PropTech IQ have allowed us to minimize our investment in research and development while significantly increasing our time savings. The ability to quantify hidden costs and benefits and right-size the investment is where we see significant value.
