Rockport VAL is positioned around property and portfolio cash-flow modeling and valuation. Moraine combines document-led acquisition underwriting with source-linked diligence for office, retail and industrial. The choice depends on whether the primary job is continuity of a valuation process or converting a broker package into a reviewable acquisition model. Test required reports and modeling conventions on a known deal.
Workflow and limits side by side
| Decision | Moraine | Rockport VAL |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow | Document-to-DCF acquisitions underwriting with linked diligence | Property and portfolio cash-flow modeling and valuation |
| Evidence for scope | Moraine facts | Vendor product description |
| Commercial terms | Individual $300/month; Team from $1,500/month; diligence separately $3,000/property | Confirm current quote, scope and terms with the vendor |
| Deliverables to verify | XLSX exports; no finished PDF memo or native ARGUS export | Demonstrate the required output on your source files |
Which team should evaluate each?
An established valuation team should test Rockport VAL against its reporting, review and portfolio requirements. A team screening commercial acquisitions can test Moraine’s document intake and editable model. Do not assume that a similar headline IRR means the systems apply identical conventions.
Moraine’s current limits include no multifamily, hotel or self-storage underwriting, no native Yardi/MRI connectors and no live multi-user editing. Those are selection criteria, not implementation details. Security status and pricing should also be checked before a live-data trial.
Buyer decision scorecard
| Decision | What to demonstrate |
|---|---|
| Valuation versus intake | Test continuity of property/portfolio reporting separately from broker-document intake. |
| Model conventions | Match dates, units, recovery treatment and exit assumptions before comparing cash flows and returns. |
| Counterparty reports | Have the recipient confirm the required valuation report and file format. |
For each test, record the expected result, actual result, source evidence, correction required and analyst review time. Agree on a pass criterion before the trial. A source link or vendor description is not a comparative performance result.
A practical comparison test
Reconcile a known office deal from beginning rent through recoveries, capital costs, debt and reversion. Match timing and units first. Confirm the output your appraiser, lender or committee requires, including file format and review controls, before replacing an existing valuation process.
Record elapsed analyst review time, unresolved inputs, source traceability and required manual corrections. Agree on the expected result from a previously reviewed deal before testing. Neither a vendor’s speed claim nor this comparison is independent evidence of performance.
