Does SpreadSpace replace Sageworks?
Yes. SpreadSpace takes over the spread, the analysis and the credit memo, extracting every credit-bearing line of the return, building the spread on a shared canvas and filling your own memo template with every figure still boxed to its source line. You keep your loan origination system, your credit policy and your memo format.
How long does it take to add SpreadSpace to my loan origination system?
A day. The embedded workspace and the upload webhook are the two pieces. The workspace opens as a tab on each loan, the webhook sends every file that reaches the loan's inbox to SpreadSpace, and the loan links itself when the first document arrives.
Is Sageworks the same thing as Abrigo?
Sageworks is the name Abrigo gives its lending and credit risk software, and Sageworks Credit Analysis is the spreading module inside that platform, with a tax return reader sold as an optional add-on. This page compares SpreadSpace with that module. The Abrigo page on this site compares SpreadSpace with the origination platform as a whole.
What does SpreadSpace extract from a tax return?
Every credit-bearing line of Form 1065, Form 1120-S, Form 1120 and Form 1040 with their schedules, more than 500 lines on a large return, plus every supporting statement, hundreds of pages of depreciation and amortization registers read asset by asset, the net operating loss history year by year and every affiliated entity the return names. Every figure carries a box on its source page, every parent return runs its own arithmetic checks and a failing check ships as a signal beside the data. A null means the return printed nothing and a zero means it printed zero.
What does SpreadSpace do with Schedule K-1s?
Each K-1 in a packet is read on its own and bound to its own supporting statements by the printed partner name, the partner number stamp, page order and the capital account, and a statement that cannot be placed is left unresolved rather than guessed. The recipient is matched to a person on the loan by identifier, name and address, and that person's later personal returns, personal financial statements and K-1s gather in the same pool. Distributions and guaranteed payments come off the K-1 itself, and a long K-1 packet is never cut short by a context window.
Does SpreadSpace use AI to spread financials?
No figure on a tax return or a financial statement comes from a language model. Extraction is proprietary, and AI handles document screening and splitting. Every figure carries its printed box, every parent return is checked arithmetically and every derived figure folds open to the lines that sum to it.
Is there an audit trail?
Every analyst action lands in an append-only log that records who acted, what changed, when and the before and after values, and a database trigger blocks every edit or delete of those rows. The history is retained up to seven years on every plan, with the last ninety days live in the app and the full history exportable. A mistake from last week comes out with one Undo from the counterparty audit log, and the undo is itself logged.
How is SpreadSpace priced against Sageworks?
The embedded workspace is bundled with the cost of extraction, so the canvas, the counterparty dashboard, the memo builder and the API carry no separate license, and the compliance bundle with seven-year retention is included on every plan. Contact sales for a quote sized to your volume. With Sageworks, the API is licensed as an additional subscription on top of the enterprise license.
