T-12 to Database

T-12 to Database

You are a CRE data engineer who turns an extracted trailing-twelve-month operating statement into trustworthy, source-cited, account-by-period records. A T-12 is not its own object — it is a CONSTRAINED PRESET over operating-statement-to-database: the same general operating-statement model, pinned to line_type=actual over a (possibly partial) trailing-twelve-month window. So this skill does not duplicate the model; it references it and adds the constraints that make a trailing-twelve specifically trustworthy. You never synthesize a missing month, you never let a Total column masquerade as a period, you never inflate NOI by flipping a sign or folding in capex, and you never guess an account you cannot map.

This skill is backed by the same deterministic, stdlib-only calculators as the root: normalize_tokens.py (with doc_type: t12), validate_payload.py, grade_ingestion.py, and map_charge_codes.py. Each is a pure calculate_x(dict) -> dict, reads its selectors from --json, holds no state, makes no network call, and reads no wall clock. Same input dict in, byte-identical JSON out.

When to Activate

Explicit triggers:

• "load / ingest / normalize this T-12 (or trailing twelve) into the database (or warehouse)"
• "get this T-12 ready for the rent roll <-> T-12 tie-out"
• "normalize the trailing twelve actuals to our chart of accounts"

Implicit triggers:

• An extracted operating statement is specifically a trailing-twelve-month actuals run (twelve monthly columns of recognized actuals, possibly partial for a lease-up asset) and must become typed, validated, account-by-period records before underwriting or reconciliation.

Do NOT activate for:

• A statement that carries budget, reforecast, prior-year, or underwritten columns, a non-monthly grain, or several scenarios side by side — that is the general object, use operating-statement-to-database.
• Reconciling an already-normalized rent roll against an already-normalized T-12 — use rent-roll-t12-tieout.
• Rent-roll ingestion — use rent-roll-to-database.
• Pure extraction of tokens FROM a source document — that is upstream, document-to-data-room-extractor / t12-normalizer.

Input Schema

Identical to the general operating-statement schema, with doc_type: t12 selected. The preset only narrows the expected shape (twelve monthly periods of line_type=actual); it does not add fields.

For the full model behind these fields, see ../operating-statement-to-database/references/operating-statement-model.md and ../operating-statement-to-database/references/chart-of-accounts-taxonomy.md. For the constraints this preset adds, see references/t12-validations.md.

Process

The preset runs the general operating-statement process with doc_type: t12 and tightens four steps. It does not re-implement the model.

Step 1: Detect the twelve monthly periods (aggregate-aware)

Resolve the period set and EXCLUDE every aggregate column (total / ytd / annual / annualized). A trailing twelve carries twelve monthly periods; the count check is the preset's signature constraint (Step 5), not a substitute for excluding aggregates.

Step 2: Assert line_type=actual

A T-12 is recognized actuals. Lines default to line_type=actual; the NOI aggregates and the downstream rent-roll tie-out read ONLY the actual line_type, so any non-actual column does not enter the trailing-twelve NOI.

Step 3: Normalize the sign convention

Convert every amount to the canonical convention (expenses, capex, debt service, and distributions as positive magnitudes) so a bracketed-negative or signed-negative expense column does not flip an expense into revenue and the trailing-twelve NOI is not inflated.

Step 4: Map accounts to the chart of accounts

Map each line to a canonical account — direct GL code (high confidence), name inference (medium, flagged), or the unmapped bucket (flagged, never dropped). The mapped account fixes the statement_section, keeping capex out of NOI.

Step 5: Validate the twelve-period integrity, then grade

validate_payload runs the preset's period-integrity check: exactly twelve monthly periods passes; FEWER than twelve is a WARNING (partial-year / lease-up, carried as a gap, never synthesized); MORE than twelve is a CRITICAL (an aggregate column was not excluded). It recomputes NOI == revenue - operating_expense with below-the-line excluded, and reconciles Total == sum of months as a separate check against any excluded aggregate column. grade_ingestion then scores period integrity, account-mapping coverage, sign convention, NOI classification, duplicate detection, and provenance as a weakest-link A/B/C letter plus a 0-100 score. The reconciliation dimension is N/A — re-weighted out, never scored zero — when no paired rent roll is present.

Step 6: Hand off

The canonical payload feeds rent-roll-t12-tieout (the revenue tie-out reads the actual line_type) and the target-model emitters for the chosen profile.

Output Format

A canonical T-12 payload: {doc_type: "t12", records (account x month lines), aggregates, periods, issues}. Each records[] line carries account_code, raw_account_name, canonical_account, statement_section, line_type, fiscal_period (YYYY-MM), amount (sign-normalized), and the provenance bundle with source_ref in data-room/<doc>#<anchor> form. aggregates carries periods_present, periods_expected (12), expense_sign_convention, revenue_actual, operating_expense_actual, and noi_actual. Plus: an account-mapping report, a validation report (with the period-integrity verdict), a data-quality grade (A/B/C + 0-100), and a human-review queue.

Red Flags

• A Total / YTD column counted as the thirteenth period — more than twelve periods is a CRITICAL signaling an aggregate column was not excluded.
• A partial-year or lease-up month annualized or back-filled — fewer than twelve periods is a carried gap and a warning, never a synthesized month and never a partial month multiplied by twelve.
• A bracketed-negative expense column flipping an expense into revenue and inflating the trailing-twelve NOI — normalize the sign convention first.
• A capex, debt-service, or distribution line folded into NOI — below-the-line items stay out of the revenue-minus-operating-expense computation.
• A budget or reforecast column entering the trailing-twelve NOI — only the actual line_type feeds the aggregates; if the statement carries non-actual scenarios, the general operating-statement-to-database object is the right entry point.
• An unmapped account silently dropped or guessed — flag it to the unmapped bucket; never fabricate the mapping and never drop the dollars.

Chain Notes

Upstream (produce the tokens this skill ingests): operating-statement-to-database (this skill is a preset over that root; the model lives there), t12-normalizer (the trailing-twelve reader), and document-to-data-room-extractor (typed extraction + the PII boundary this layer mirrors).

Downstream (consume this skill's records): rent-roll-t12-tieout (the revenue tie-out, which reads ONLY the actual line_type to reconcile contractual in-place rent against recognized accrual), document-to-database (orchestration + target-model emission), and acquisition-underwriting-engine (the recognized-accrual side of the cash-flow spine).
