Verdict
Calculating…
Gates are Azure policy defaults — tighten/loosen deliberately, not deal-by-deal. This tool screens; it does not replace lot-level diligence (water will-serve, soils, title, entitlement risk).
Sensitivity — Gross Margin % (ASP vs Hard Cost $/sf)
| Cost ↓ / ASP → | −10% | −5% | 0% | +5% | +10% |
|---|
Red Zone (<12%) — deal fails on normal overrun + price miss
Caution (12–16%) — below margin gate
Pass (≥16%)
