How do I know if my company qualifies for SR&ED?

Eligibility depends on whether your work involves technological uncertainty, systematic experimentation, and advancement. ELEMONT's assessment helps you evaluate indicators — but final eligibility is determined by CRA based on your specific facts. We do not guarantee qualification.

Is ELEMONT a replacement for an SR&ED consultant?

ELEMONT is a structured self-serve platform with optional expert review. Many teams use it instead of full-service consultants for routine preparation, while still accessing human review when needed. You stay in control and keep better records year-round.

What documents should I prepare?

Start with project descriptions, employee/contractor time records, payroll data, and evidence of experimentation (Git history, test results, specs). ELEMONT guides you through linking these to T661 sections and financial schedules.

How long does the initial assessment take?

Most teams complete the initial eligibility assessment and workspace setup in under 30 minutes. Full claim preparation depends on project count and evidence availability — ongoing capture throughout the year is faster than year-end cramming.

Do you support CRA audit reviews?

Yes. Premium members can access audit support including evidence organization and response preparation. See our audit support page for details. We help you organize — we do not guarantee audit outcomes.
