# Deal Dropbox

The Deal Dropbox streamlines how you receive site opportunities from external parties. Give brokers and landlords a simple way to submit sites directly to your pipeline—each submission is automatically scored, analyzed, and added to your Deal Dashboard without manual data entry.

***

### What Is the Deal Dropbox?

The Deal Dropbox is a submission portal that allows external parties to send you site opportunities. Instead of receiving site flyers via email and manually entering addresses into your system, the Dropbox creates a direct channel from broker to your pipeline.

#### How It Works

1. **You share a link:** Provide your Dropbox link to brokers, landlords, or other site sources
2. **They submit sites:** External parties enter an address and optionally attach documents
3. **GrowthFactor processes:** The platform automatically analyzes the site
4. **Deal appears in your dashboard:** Scored and ready for your review

#### What Gets Automated

When a site is submitted through the Dropbox:

| Step                   | Automation                                          |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Geocoding**          | Address is validated and mapped                     |
| **Scoring**            | GrowthFactor Score generated automatically          |
| **Revenue Forecast**   | Sales projection created based on your analog model |
| **Data Extraction**    | Information pulled from attached site flyers        |
| **Tagging**            | Submission source and metadata tagged to the deal   |
| **Dashboard Addition** | Deal added to your pipeline for review              |

| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |

### Submitting a Site

External parties have two options for submitting sites to your Dropbox.

#### Photo Mode

Upload or capture a photo of a property flyer, brochure, or site signage. The platform uses AI to automatically extract property details from the image.

**What AI extracts:**

* Property address
* Square footage
* Delivery/available date
* Triple-Net Rent (PSF) — minimum and maximum values

Form fields auto-populate with extracted data. A confidence indicator (high, medium, or low) shows how certain the AI is about each extracted value. Submitters can review and correct any fields before submitting.

#### Address Mode

Search for an address using autocomplete, then confirm the location on an interactive map. This mode is useful when the submitter knows the address but doesn't have a flyer to upload.
