## Description

The Obix Cost Segregation Estimator helps commercial property owners and their advisors
quickly estimate the potential first-year tax savings from a cost segregation study.

**Key Features:**

 * Calculates both Conservative and High-End first-year tax savings estimates
 * Supports all major commercial property types (office, retail, warehouse, residential,
   hotel, restaurant, medical, and more)
 * Automatically applies the correct bonus depreciation percentage by year (100%,
   80%, 60%, 50%, 0%)
 * Drag-and-drop Elementor widget with live style controls (background color, text
   color, primary color)
 * Shortcode `[zcse_calculator]` works on any page or post
 * Lead capture modal gates the PDF download — collects name, email, phone, and 
   custom fields
 * Server-side PDF report generated with FPDF — includes company logo, client info,
   and both estimate tables
 * Admin settings page: upload logo, set company branding, configure colors, add
   footer note
 * Lead Records submenu: view, search, sort, delete, and export all PDF download
   leads as CSV
 * Form Builder submenu: enable/disable fields, mark required/optional, add custom
   fields, drag to reorder

No. The plugin works standalone via the `[zcse_calculator]` shortcode. Elementor
is optional.

Add the shortcode `[zcse_calculator]` to any page or post, or use the Elementor 
widget if you have Elementor installed.

Every time a visitor submits the download form, their information and calculated
savings are saved to **Obix Cost Segregation Estimator  Lead Records** in your WordPress
dashboard. You can export all records as a CSV.

### Can I customize the download form?

Yes. Go to **Obix Cost Segregation Estimator  Form Builder** to enable/disable fields,
mark them required or optional, add custom fields, and drag to reorder.

### Is the PDF generated on my server?

Yes. PDFs are generated server-side using the bundled FPDF library. No data is sent
to any external service.

### Where are PDF reports stored?

Reports are saved to `wp-content/uploads/zcse-reports/`. Directory listing is disabled
via `.htaccess`.

### Does the plugin collect any data?

The plugin only stores data that visitors voluntarily submit through the download
form (name, email, phone, etc.). No tracking or analytics are run without user action.
