The U.S. government, the Federal Reserve, the BLS, the Census Bureau, the BEA — they collectively publish more market intelligence than any private vendor. Every population shift, every income trend, every employment change, every climate-risk update, every new construction permit. It's in public datasets.
What's been missing is the layer that turns those datasets into a screen an investor opens before a deal lands on their desk. That's Stratara.
The product is the methodology. Every fair-value verdict decomposes into the inputs that produced it. Every composite shows its formula. Every metric cites its source. If you don't trust a number, you can audit it down to the underlying public dataset.
If a public source doesn't cover a geography, the field shows blank. We never fabricate, interpolate, or default.
Every composite is a weighted average of named inputs. Every weight is documented. No proprietary black-box scores.
Treasury yields come from the Federal Reserve on every page load. The cycle clock refreshes daily; the spoke composites refresh weekly. Snapshots are stamped and citable.
CoStar charges institutional fees because it can. Stratara starts at $29 / month because public data ought to be available without a five-figure check.
Stratara is built and run by one person. There's no PR layer between you and the methodology — every published call lives in the public track record, with the receipts.
A cycle-aware analyst console for U.S. markets. The screen an investor opens before a deal lands on their desk — to know if the market premise is plausible, where the mispricings are, and what the public-data signals say about the next 12–36 months.
An institutional CRE database (CoStar owns that lane). A brokerage platform. A property-level rent-roll system. A substitute for on-the-ground due diligence.
Today200+ U.S. metros, 3,000+ counties, ~200 underlying metrics, 100,992 sub-composite scores, 8-spoke radar, Early Warning rule engine, transparent methodology.
NextDeeper CRE-specific coverage (office / retail / industrial vacancy as primary sources become licensable), an Underwriting Copilot for deal-memo cross-reference, a programmatic API for funds with internal models.
AlwaysEvery input named, every source public, every formula documented.
Mark spent a decade underwriting commercial real estate transactions across multifamily, office, and industrial assets. He built Stratara to give independent investors the same data infrastructure that institutional desks take for granted.
