More Than a Study. A Smarter Approach.
A cost segregation study separates a building's cost into shorter-lived components. That can accelerate depreciation deductions and improve near-term cash flow; the actual effect depends on the property and your tax situation.

How it works
The 4-Stage SI Process
The four stages CostSeg SI's study workflow is designed around, from first document to professional review.
1. Document Ingestion & Blueprint Analysis
Drawings, closing statements, contractor ledgers, and invoices are read to pull out line items, quantities, and locations.
2. Component Classification & Life-Cycle Matching
Each component is matched to a likely recovery period and flagged where bonus depreciation may apply, for a reviewer to confirm.
3. Engineering-Based Cost Estimation
When actual costs are missing or bundled, documented engineering estimation methods fill the gaps.
4. Human-in-the-Loop Review & Audit Trails
Unusual or high-impact items are flagged, and a professional reviews the results with the supporting evidence attached.

FAQs
Common questions
What information do you need to start?+
The property address and type, purchase or construction date, and cost basis. Drawings, closing statements, contractor ledgers, and invoices help a lot; not every study has all of them, and missing costs can be estimated.
Is Super Intelligence a fully automated tax product?+
No. Technology organizes and analyzes documents, and a qualified professional reviews the results. The study supports your tax adviser; it does not prepare or file your return.
Do you guarantee tax savings or a fixed turnaround?+
No. The benefit depends on the property, its cost, when it was placed in service, and your tax position. Timing depends on property complexity and how complete the documents are.
Can a study cover a building I bought in an earlier year?+
Often, yes. For property already in service, the catch-up is usually claimed through a change in accounting method on Form 3115 rather than by amending returns. Your CPA decides how to apply it.
