AI-Powered Transaction Workflow

Pathway 2 of 6 | Priority #2 — Replaces manual Transaction Board | April 12, 2026

Why Replace the Transaction Board?

Current: Manual Google Sheet

  • Static $300K template row — actual prices differ
  • Manual formula entry per deal — error-prone
  • 3 separate sheets (TB + Spending Plan + LOC Tracker) with no sync
  • Manual cap tracking across agents
  • No alerts when cap is approaching
  • Agent pay calculated manually, then manually entered in Paychex
  • PF split done by hand per deal

New: AI-Powered Workflow

  • Deal entry triggers automatic commission calc with actual price
  • Auto-detects agent vs lead, applies correct split
  • Real-time cap tracking with alerts at 80% and 100%
  • Auto-generates PF split and routes to correct accounts
  • Auto-updates QBO categories (51900, 61000, etc.)
  • Triggers Paychex payroll run for team deals
  • Single source of truth — no manual reconciliation

Complete AI-Powered Workflow: Lead to Closed

AI = Automated by Cadence   HUMAN = Requires Joe/Agent action

1
Lead Claimed HUMAN

Agent claims lead via Claim Page. Source tracked (Zillow, Homes.com, referrAL, SOI). Auto-populates client record.

2
Contact Attempts (3 required) HUMAN

Agent logs 3 contact attempts. After 3 with no response → lead marked dormant. On response → advance to consult.

3
Consultation + Agreement HUMAN

Buyer or Listing consultation per SOP. Agreement signed. Property details entered (address, list price, buyer/seller info).

4
Commission Pre-Calculation AI

Based on list price and commission rate, Cadence pre-calculates: gross commission, KW fees, referrAL deduction (if any), agent vs lead split, projected PF allocation, and projected agent pay.

5
Under Contract → Close HUMAN

Transaction managed through TC/Transactly. Option period, inspections, financing contingency, title work. Joe/agent handles negotiations.

6
Close Detection + Commission Finalization AI

When status changes to CLOSED: final sale price updates commission calc. Actual CDA amount reconciled. KW split applied (capped check). Outside referrAL deducted.

7
Auto Profit First Split AI

Net commission automatically split: 10% Profit (X6081) + 40% Comp (X2958) + 15% Tax (X6094) + 35% OPEX (X2961). For team deals: agent salary calculated, remainder to DG PF split.

8
Auto QBO + Payroll + Cap Update AI

QBO Income and expense categorized. Paychex Agent payroll queued (team deals). Cap Tracker Agent YTD vs cap updated. Alert if agent is within $500 of cap.

9
Reporting + Notification AI

Joe gets Telegram notification with deal summary, PF split, and agent pay. Monthly summary auto-generated. CFO Dashboard updated.

MILESTONE: Full cycle complete

Lead → Claimed → Contacted → Consulted → Under Contract → Closed → Paid → Reconciled → Reported. Zero manual spreadsheet entry.

Cross-Analysis Results (3 Loops)

Loop 1 — Sequence Gaps in Current Board

  • Transaction Board has no lead-to-close pipeline — only tracks from contract forward
  • No connection between lead claim (property-leads page) and transaction tracking
  • Commission formulas reference static row, not actual deal data per row

Loop 2 — Data Integrity Gaps

  • CLOSING PRICE in template row ($300K) vs SALES PRICE in row 16 — formula mismatch risk
  • Agent CHECK TO column is manual text — typos break split calculations
  • No validation: a deal can be marked CLOSED without PF split being done

Loop 3 — Corrections in New Workflow

  • FIX 1: Lead claim → transaction → close is now a single continuous pipeline (no gap between systems)
  • FIX 2: Commission calc uses actual sale price per deal, not template row
  • FIX 3: Agent assignment is dropdown/selection, not free text — eliminates typo risk
  • FIX 4: Close event REQUIRES PF split to be generated before status can change to CLOSED
  • FIX 5: Cap tracking is real-time with alerts, not end-of-month manual reconciliation
