- How should CRE teams structure a Claude Project?
- As a four-layer system, not a file folder: instructions, sources, reconciliation, and output. Most teams drop twenty documents into one project, type “summarize this deal,” and redo 95% of it by hand. Structuring the project as four layers is what makes the work actually hold up on real CRE deals.
- How long does it take to set up a Claude Project for a CRE deal?
- About 15 minutes. The setup is six moves to a working project, and you reuse the same structure on every deal. The field guide includes the instruction skeleton, the source-authority template, and a 60-second check to run before you trust the output. No engineering background is required.
- How do you stop Claude from getting CRE numbers wrong?
- Load your standards into the project instructions once, then rank your sources by authority so a signed lease beats a broker pro-forma. Done right, the OM, T-12, and rent roll reconcile, and every material number is cited to a file and page. The guide covers where Claude gets CRE numbers wrong and a 60-second check before you trust the output.
- Is the Claude Projects for CRE field guide free?
- Yes. It is a free CRE field guide from Pacific Software Ventures, delivered as an instant PDF download with no paywall. You drop in your details and the guide downloads the moment you submit. Teams that want to run this in-house can go deeper through the CRE AI Institute, which teaches it with live training on real deals.
