Deal score
A 0–100 heuristic summary of the modeled cap rate, cash-on-cash, monthly cash flow, DSCR, and projected return, for consistent triage.
Why Deal score matters
The Deal score helps you sort analyses for deeper review. It is not your Buy Box fit; read it after your targets and the underlying metrics.
How to check Deal score before you rely on it
Open the metrics behind it. The score blends cap rate, cash-on-cash return, monthly cash flow, DSCR, and the projected return, so a strong score with a weak DSCR is a deal that scored well on the wrong things for a cash-flow buyer. Sort with the score, decide with your Buy Box targets and the Offer Ceiling, and never quote the score to a lender or partner as if it were an underwriting result.

Where Deal score shows up in TrueCap
The analyzer computes this metric on every run from the assumptions you see and can edit, shows it in the results view beside cash flow after reserves and DSCR, and uses your targets for it in Buy Box fit and in the Offer Ceiling — the highest price that still meets those targets. It appears in the written decision memo and the PDF with the same value and the same inputs.
