How does REAL pick the correct CPI index and base period?

REAL reads the escalation clause itself to identify the named index, the base period, and any caps or floors, then pulls the matching published index value, so the calculation always matches what the lease actually specifies rather than a default assumption.

Does REAL catch a landlord invoice that applies the wrong escalation?

Yes. REAL recalculates the escalation independently from the lease clause and compares it against every landlord invoice, flagging any invoice that applies the wrong index period, ignores a cap, or misapplies compounding.

Does this work for fixed-percentage escalations too, not just CPI?

Yes. REAL handles fixed-percentage bumps, CPI-linked adjustments, and hybrid clauses that combine both, applying whichever formula and timing the lease specifies.
