Surfaice Labs · coordination check
How much of your team's month goes to chasing?
Six questions about your portfolio. You get the hours going into lease and store-development coordination, where they land, and what it takes to get them back.
Your numbers come first — we run the check with you rather than trading it for an email address.
What you leave with
Your number
Hours a month the portfolio absorbs in coordination.
Where it lands
Split across the work you flag as eating the most time.
What a fix looks like
A 90-day plan in plain language you can forward.
What we ask
All six questions, before you answer any of them.
Two minutes of arithmetic about your own portfolio. Nothing here needs a system export, and nothing needs approval to answer.
- 01
What does your team handle?
Leases, the build programme, or one team carrying both.
- 02
How many locations?
Roughly is fine.
- 03
How many openings or remodels a year?
- 04
How many people handle it day to day?
- 05
Which of these eat the most time?
Abstraction, CAM, chasing landlords, critical dates, permits, opening readiness, GC coordination, punch and closeout.
- 06
Have you automated any of this yet?
Why we built this
Most retail teams are staffed for the work, not the chasing.
The chasing is real work, it is nobody's job, and it grows with the estate. That is the whole reason this check exists.
The load is invisible
Nobody budgets for follow-up, re-keying and status decks. It lands on the same few people and never shows up in a plan.
It scales with the portfolio
Every new store adds leases, dates, permits and vendors. The team rarely grows at the same rate.
Software alone does not fix it
A new system moves the work; it does not do the work. Someone still has to clear the backlog.
So we do it
Surfaice Labs pairs retail operators with AI agents and takes the coordination off your team.
