Claude Monet, Hôtel des Roches Noires, Trouville, 1870. Musée d'Orsay
How Ella works
A hotel arrives as a stack of documents. Ella turns it into a decision.
Every property reports its own way: its own line names, its own departments, its own idea of what belongs above the line. Ella reads the statements onto the industry's chart of accounts, builds the underwriting on top of them, and puts the plan in front of a simulated market before capital does.
01
Upload
The profit and loss statement as the property sends it: a digital PDF, with its own line names and its own layout.
02
Place
Every line set on the USALI 11th edition chart of accounts, under the schedule and the line it belongs to.
03
Review
The lines Ella isn't sure of are set aside for a person to decide. The confident ones stay out of the way.
04
Export
An Excel workbook whose subtotals and totals are live formulas, ready to carry into the model.

What Ella holds to
The industry's own chart
USALI 11th edition, the standard lenders and operators already read, rather than a house version of it.
Uncertainty, shown
When a line could go two ways, Ella says so and asks, rather than choosing quietly and moving on.
Nothing pasted as a value
Subtotals and totals are formulas, so the workbook can be checked and the arithmetic can't drift.
Pricing: plans compared
PricingBoth plans process every statement through a zero-data-retention endpoint. Nothing you upload is kept by the model provider or used to train a model.
