## About Parafin

### What is Parafin?

Parafin accelerates hotel site acquisition by automating the generation of design concepts, budgets, and pro formas for real estate development opportunities.

### What results does Parafin provide?

Financial outputs based on the selected hotel design and your financial inputs — building program, development budget, revenues, and investment assumptions. Results are exportable as PDF or Excel.

## Working with projects

### Can I modify features of the design prototype?

Parafin follows brand standards set by the hotel flag. Modifications that would require a brand waiver aren't supported.

### How do I get more variety if top designs look similar?

Narrow your filters — especially room mix and room types. Tighter filters force more diverse designs into the top of the list.

## Financial modeling

### Where do I input OS\&E, IT, and pre-opening expenses?

Roll them into soft costs. Parafin doesn't break out these line items separately yet. Email [support@parafin.ai](mailto:support@parafin.ai) if segregating them is important for your workflow.

### What's included in NOI margin?

NOI margin includes profit from departments less undistributed expenses, non-operating income and expenses, management fees, and reserve for replacement.

### How do I model performance ramping over time?

Parafin currently reports stabilized-yield analysis, not time-series cash flow. Email [support@parafin.ai](mailto:support@parafin.ai) if time-series analysis is important for your workflow.

### Can Parafin calculate IRR?

Not yet — same reason as ramping. Parafin reports stabilized yield today. Email [support@parafin.ai](mailto:support@parafin.ai) if IRR matters for your use case.

## Platform

### I found a bug — how do I report it?

Email [support@parafin.ai](mailto:support@parafin.ai) with screenshots and a description of what happened.

### Where do I send feature suggestions?

Email [support@parafin.ai](mailto:support@parafin.ai) or bring them to your next User Testing call.

### When will more hotel brands be added?

Parafin continuously trains new brands. Email [support@parafin.ai](mailto:support@parafin.ai) with the brand you want and it gets added to the roadmap.
