SpreadSpace vs UPTIQ

SpreadSpace gives commercial lenders a source-linked spread, an analyst-controlled canvas, and their own credit memo inside the loan workflow. UPTIQ is an agent platform whose generated underwriting drafts require review and approval.

An extracted figure opens its supporting document with the printed line boxed.

Three reasons to choose SpreadSpace

Review the evidence behind every figure

SpreadSpace opens the source line behind a figure directly from the spread. Derived totals unfold into the lines that make them, so the reviewer can check the calculation as well as the printed amount. That review carries through to the memo.

Build the spread around the borrower

SpreadSpace puts every entity on the loan on one canvas, where the analyst arranges charts, tables, ratios, and notes freely. A team can compare the borrower and guarantors, open derivations together, and pin comments to the exact item under review. Saved templates preserve the arrangement for the next loan.

Carry the analysis into the memo

SpreadSpace rebuilds the lender’s memo as a company-wide template and imports the reviewed spread visuals at full SVG fidelity. Figures retain their source links, and the analyst writes the narrative around the evidence. Committee review can follow the same numbers and calculations that supported the spread.

Why SpreadSpace is the stronger choice

SpreadSpace is the stronger choice for lenders that want to build and defend the analysis themselves. Tax returns retain their supporting schedules, a derived total opens into its component lines, and the analyst chooses the EBITDA basis and add-backs for each entity. Those same visuals enter the lender’s memo with their source links intact, so committee review follows the actual calculation. UPTIQ centers the workflow on agent-generated drafts and configured review screens; SpreadSpace centers it on the analyst’s working canvas.

Choose SpreadSpace when

  • Lenders reviewing business and personal returns need supporting schedules, K-1 ownership, and the source line behind each figure available in the spread.
  • Credit teams compare every borrower and guarantor on one canvas while keeping each entity’s income basis, adjustments, and DSCR under analyst control.
  • Rental-property lenders need Form 8825 and Schedule E Part I income, itemized expenses, and depreciation with years side by side.
  • Analysts reviewing bank activity need counterparty relationships and return-based affiliate evidence before treating a payment as an operating expense.
  • Committees require the lender’s own memo format, with reviewed charts and tables that retain their source links.
  • Lenders adding detailed spreading to an existing loan workflow can embed the workspace and wire the upload webhook in a day.

Where UPTIQ falls short

  • UPTIQ starts the memo with an agent-generated draft, leaving the underwriter responsible for checking and editing its narrative before approval.
  • Document extraction routes through language models and confidence-based review, requiring the lender to govern acceptance and review thresholds.
  • Initial deployment includes vendor configuration of credit policy, spreading templates, and memo matching, so setup depends on that implementation process.

Embedded workspace
Source drawer and canvas on the loan

The analyst works in the loan’s embedded tab with the source drawer, spreading canvas, and counterparty rollup in one place. The reviewed visuals also enter the lender’s memo.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Documents and extraction
Tax lines and supporting schedules

SpreadSpace extracts every credit-bearing line on Forms 1040, 1065, 1120, and 1120-S with supporting statements, depreciation and amortization schedules, net operating loss history, and affiliated entities. A large return can yield more than 500 usable lines, each retaining its source detail.

IncludedNot demonstrated
K-1 statements paired to owners

Each Schedule K-1 is paired with its own supporting statements and attached to the owner it names. Later K-1s, personal returns, and personal financial statements for that person join the same entity, and distributions remain available for analysis.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Tax and statement figures without language models

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.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Boxed sources through canvas and memo

Source-backed figures open the full document with the line boxed, from the spread and imported memo visuals. Derived totals fold open into the contributing rows, and each source-backed row opens its own document line.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Statement periods rebuilt across workbooks

Audited and unaudited financial statements spread with their own line detail, and Excel periods scattered across tabs or files are rebuilt into a standardized statement. Matching statements for the same entity and year can combine complementary periods while retaining the underlying source detail.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Bank transactions, balances, and relationships

SpreadSpace extracts the printed transactions and daily balances, identifies overdrafts, NSFs, chargebacks, and returned items, and groups activity by counterparty. Financing activity carries advances, repayments, net flows, and observed payment cadence into an implied debt schedule, with uncertain classifications visible for review.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Analysis
Tax basis and book basis

SpreadSpace records every return on both a tax basis and a book basis, including depreciation, amortization, and disposition gains or losses, and the analyst can use either one or both. Each derivation opens into its component lines, and unavailable book attributes remain unavailable rather than becoming guessed values.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Return-derived cash flow tied to Schedule L

An itemized statement of cash flows derives from the return in operating, investing, and financing blocks, with a bridge and a table that reconcile to the change in cash on Schedule L.

IncludedNot demonstrated
EBITDA add-backs that follow basis

The analyst starts from company statements, the return’s book income, or ordinary business income on a tax basis and chooses add-backs by entity and year. Add-backs follow the basis the analyst chose, with attached statement items available individually.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Source-line DSCR by entity and year

The analyst configures DSCR per entity and per year from the documents’ own lines, with historical and pro forma views using proposed debt service. Named recipes save on the loan, and each entity’s calculation appears on the same canvas without combining the entities into one DSCR figure.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Return-derived affiliates and bank reclassification

The affiliate schedule includes every affiliated and intercompany entity named in the business and personal returns, including K-1 issuers, corporate return affiliations, supporting statements, and related-party receivable and payable lines, whether or not an ownership link or K-1 exists. It feeds the entity roster and reclassifies matching bank counterparties as intercompany, with a link to the source line even when the return arrives later.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Rental income and expenses by property

Form 8825, including continuation sheets, and Schedule E Part I become rental-property schedules with income, itemized operating expenses, and depreciation shown with years side by side. Each property’s expense fold retains its printed depreciation line, while Form 4562 and the attached depreciation register provide the supporting detail in the return viewer.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Working the spread
Freeform multi-entity spreading canvas

Every business and person on the loan can share one canvas, with no fixed entity cap, and the analyst places, drags, resizes, and groups charts, tables, ratios, and text freely. More than 100 curated visuals and the custom builder provide source-linked graph and table views.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Shared canvas with pinned review threads

Up to 25 analysts work on one board with live cursors, selections, drags, typing, and shared derivation folds. Comment threads pin to a visual or any canvas location, and linked prose opens the document line it discusses.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Reusable layout without loan-specific notes

A saved template carries the spread’s visual arrangement and custom graph definitions into another loan of that type. Loan-specific comments, images, source links, property selections, and configured DSCR cards stay out of the template.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Borrowers and guarantors on one canvas

Named businesses reconcile to entities holding their returns and statements, and people collect their K-1s, personal returns, and personal financial statements. Every entity appears in one selector and can be spread side by side on the same canvas.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Memo
Company memo with source-linked exhibits

The lender’s existing memo becomes a company-wide template built once and shared by the team, using the same blocks as the spread. Imported charts and tables render at full SVG fidelity, move freely on the page, and keep their source links through memo review.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Vector exhibits on the memo canvas

Imported spread charts render as vector graphics on the memo canvas and print surface. Tables and charts move and resize freely while keeping their figures and source links.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Memo figures retain their source links

A source-backed figure imported into the memo opens the same boxed document line as the spread. Derived figures retain their supporting rows for review.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Control and audit
Analyst-controlled analysis settings

Analysts change the spread’s settings, choose its book or tax view, and select source-line adjustments without a configuration project. DSCR is configured on the loan for each entity and year.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Persistent classification and value overrides

Analyst classifications survive later automation and remain reversible under audit. With the opt-in permission scope, an extracted value can be edited and reset, and derived figures above that value reflect the change.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Archived actions with targeted undo

Spreading and reporting actions, including undo and redo, enter an immutable archive retained for up to seven years. The analyst can inspect an earlier action and undo it, while board and memo version histories also support restoration.

IncludedNot demonstrated
Uncertain bank classifications under review

Transactions that cannot be classified with confidence appear in their own under-review section. Candidate relationships carry review actions, and an analyst’s confirmed classification takes precedence over later automation.

Questions lenders ask

Does SpreadSpace replace UPTIQ?

Yes, for the commercial spreading, analysis, and memo workflow. SpreadSpace extracts the document detail, gives the analyst a shared canvas, and carries reviewed exhibits into the lender’s own memo template. The lender’s origination system continues to hold the loan record.

How long does it take to add SpreadSpace to a loan origination system?

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 UPTIQ?

The embedded workspace is bundled with the cost of extraction. Contact sales for a quote based on the lender’s document volume and workflow.
