Does SpreadSpace replace MeridianLink?
Yes, for the spreading, analysis, and memo workflow. The lender keeps MeridianLink for the loan record, pipeline, and booking. SpreadSpace embeds the detailed review workspace on the loan and returns extracted data through the API.
How long does it take to add SpreadSpace to MeridianLink?
A day. The embedded workspace and the upload webhook are the two pieces. A developer follows the versioned API guide, or a coding agent follows the integration skill file, and extracted lines return through the API.
How does SpreadSpace preserve the detail in a tax return?
The spread includes the credit-bearing lines and supporting statements on business and personal returns, including depreciation, amortization, net operating loss history, and affiliations. A large return can produce more than 500 usable lines. Tax and book views retain their own derivations, and every source-backed line can open its boxed position on the document.
What happens to K-1s and guarantor documents?
Each K-1 stays paired with its own supporting statements and attaches to the owner it names. Later personal returns, personal financial statements, and K-1s for that person join the same entity. The analyst can compare those guarantors with the borrower on one canvas while keeping each calculation’s entity and basis clear.
Can SpreadSpace analyze rental income property by property?
Form 8825 and Schedule E Part I become schedules of rental income, itemized operating expenses, and depreciation with years side by side. Form 8825 properties continue across continuation sheets, and each Schedule E Part I property retains its expense detail. The expense fold shows the printed depreciation line, with asset detail available in the return viewer’s depreciation register.
How can a reviewer check a figure in the spread or memo?
A source-backed figure opens the document with the line boxed. A derived total opens the contributing rows so the reviewer can follow the calculation and its source lines. Imported memo visuals retain those links, and the lender’s company-wide template keeps the committee’s format.
Can analysts control adjustments and preserve their review?
The analyst chooses EBITDA add-backs on the selected book or tax basis and configures DSCR per entity and year as a named recipe on the loan. Classification overrides survive later automation, and an opt-in permission allows extracted values to be edited and reset under audit. Shared comments, action history, and board revisions preserve the review around those choices.
How is SpreadSpace priced against MeridianLink?
The embedded workspace is bundled with the cost of extraction. Contact sales for a quote based on the lender’s document volume and workflow.
