Super Intelligence for cost segregation
A study can involve hundreds of line items across drawings, ledgers, and invoices. CostSeg SI's workflow is designed to handle the repetitive reading and sorting, so professionals can spend their time on judgment.
The problem
Why studies take time
Most of the effort in a cost segregation study is not the tax analysis. It is finding costs: reading drawings, matching contractor pay applications to building components, separating bundled invoices, and estimating what the records do not show. That work is detailed and repetitive, and it is where delays and errors creep in.
The classification decisions that follow depend on how each item functions in the building, and on law and case history. Those calls need an experienced reviewer.
How it works
The 4-Stage SI Process
The stages CostSeg SI's workflow is designed around.
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.
Division of work
What technology does, and what people do
Technology is designed to:
- Extract line items, quantities, and locations from documents
- Group costs into standard construction categories
- Suggest a likely recovery period for each component
- Apply documented estimation methods where costs are missing
- Flag unusual, high-value, or uncertain items
Qualified professionals:
- Decide classifications that depend on function and facts
- Review estimates and reconcile totals to cost basis
- Approve the study before it is delivered
Your CPA remains responsible for how the study is used on your return.

Where the technology stands
The stages on this page describe the proposed design of the Super Intelligence workflow. They are not a description of a finished, fully automated system, and nothing on this site means a study is produced without human review.
