    Subject: property valuation tool for PropTech Hi there, 3per our last conversation 4maybe we should chat Cheers, Drew For context, I am reaching out because teams in PropTech usually tell us the same three things are eating time right now: maintenance routing, appraisal turnaround, and tenant response times. We built a queue that routes requests by property, urgency, and vendor availability, and one operator cut average maintenance response from 18 hours to 4. I am not sure whether that maps to your priorities, but it seemed adjacent enough to put in front of you. If any of that sounds remotely relevant, let me know your thoughts. Happy to send more details, compare notes, or point you toward a customer story. If not, no worries at all. I have been following what your team is doing for a while and thought your recent work was impressive. Per our earlier thread, or at least the notes I have here, it felt like the timing might be right to reconnect and keep the conversation moving. I will follow up in a couple of days if I do not hear back.
