The Criteria section lets you set the rules that deals must meet.

Must-Pass Criteria

These are hard requirements. If a deal doesn’t meet them, it fails the playbook evaluation. Examples:
  • Deal size must be greater than $10M
  • Property must be built after 1980
  • Occupancy must be above 85%
Must-pass criteria are pass/fail. A deal either meets them or it doesn’t.

Return Targets

Set the financial thresholds for your strategy. Examples:
MetricTarget
Levered IRR> 15%
IRR Floor> 13%
Cash-on-Cash> 8%
Equity Multiple> 1.8x
You can set both minimum thresholds (floors) and target ranges.

How Criteria Work Together

When you deploy a playbook:
  1. Apers checks all must-pass criteria first
  2. If the deal passes, Apers evaluates it against your return targets
  3. You get a clear view of how the deal scores against your strategy
Be specific with your criteria. The more precise you are, the better Apers can evaluate deals for you.
