Analyst Notes

Main challenge: Basic version limited to single property analysis; paid version required for multi-property tracking and advanced features.
Implementation effort: The technical piece is only part of the work; the harder question is whether Google Sheets with embedded formulas can be owned, monitored, and reconciled in production.
Practical read: Best read as a low effort operational change with ROI upside when the pain is already measurable.
