Success stories

Where SR&ED work actually lands

Anonymized engagements—how we scoped what was claimable and stayed with the claim through filing. Plain outcomes; no guaranteed refunds.

  • Fitness tracking — scoping what was actually claimable

    A Canadian sport-tech team shipping fitness-tracking software was unsure which R&D belonged in SR&ED. Engineering moved fast; documentation lagged; leadership did not want to over-claim or leave eligible work out.

    Approach

    We walked the roadmap with their technical leads, separated routine product work from experimental development, and locked a claimable scope they could defend. Narrative and financial mapping followed that scope.

    Outcome

    Eligible work was clear before filing. After each claim went in, the credit came through in roughly two months—so cash planning stayed steady without stretching the claim.

    Oversight

    Their team kept the project record. We reviewed soft spots and stayed available if CRA asked questions.

  • Shipping & logistics — a claim that matched how the work was done

    A software team in shipping and logistics had real technical uncertainty in route, tracking, and ops tooling, but early “what counts as SR&ED” passes were either too broad or too cautious. Finance needed a claim they could stand behind; engineering needed language that matched the work.

    Approach

    Joint sessions with engineering and finance to map experiments, dead ends, and system constraints. We tightened the technical narrative to the uncertainties that mattered and aligned costs to the same story.

    Outcome

    A defendable package with a clear line between product shipping and experimental work. Leadership had a plain-language view of what was in scope—and what was left out—before anything went to CRA.

    Oversight

    Client ownership of the file stayed intact. We challenged weak documentation early so the claim stayed consistent end to end.

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers about SR&ED eligibility, our platform, and expert review.

Do I need consulting if I use the software?
Not necessarily. Many teams file successfully using our self-serve platform. Consulting adds value when claims are large, technically complex, in CRA-sensitive sectors, or when you want professional sign-off before filing.
Who performs the technical review?
Our technical reviewers include former CRA scientific research consultants, P.Eng. holders, and PhD-level specialists with 10+ years of SR&ED experience across software, hardware, and life sciences.
How long does a technical review take?
Typically 2–4 weeks depending on claim size and responsiveness. We recommend engaging at least 6 weeks before your T2 filing deadline.
Can you help with a CRA audit on a claim we filed elsewhere?
Yes. Our audit support service is available regardless of how your original claim was prepared. Contact us with your CRA review letter to discuss scope and timeline.
