Structured for CRA review
Technical narratives organized around uncertainty, hypotheses, experiments, and advancement — not generic AI output.
Built for dev teams
SR&ED for software, SaaS, and AI companies
Model experimentation, feature R&D, and infrastructure uncertainty — not routine ops. ELEMONT helps Canadian dev teams structure T661 narratives, allocate hours, and link evidence from Git, tickets, and experiment logs.
SR&ED
More than hours tracking
Deep technical narrative support for software and AI R&D — with optional expert review.
Expert review optional
Self-serve preparation with optional technical and CPA financial review when you need a second pair of eyes.
Transparent vs consultants
Software-guided workflows at a fraction of traditional consultant fees. You stay in control of your claim.
Audit-ready evidence
Link timesheets, Git history, invoices, and specs to projects throughout the year — not at tax season panic.
How it works
Structure before filing
From dev projects to audit-ready technical reports.
- 01
Start your assessment
Set up your organization, check eligibility indicators, and open a fiscal-year workspace.
- 02
Document projects & uncertainty
Capture SR&ED projects, technological uncertainties, hypotheses, and experiments with guided T661 sections.
- 03
Track hours & finances
Allocate employee and contractor time, payroll, materials, and eligible expenditures by project.
- 04
Review & prepare to file
Generate draft narratives and financial summaries. Request optional expert review before filing.
Canadian software R&D teams
Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and beyond.
SaaS companies
Platform features, API development, and performance R&D with dev-heavy payroll.
AI / ML startups
Model experimentation, data pipelines, and training infrastructure uncertainty.
Dev shops & agencies
Internal product R&D and client-facing innovation with clear project boundaries.
Founder-led engineering
CTOs and tech leads who need narrative help without a full consultant engagement.
Plateforme
Narratives for dev teams
Guided T661 sections aligned with how engineering teams actually work.
Dev hours → SR&ED claim
Allocate engineering time by project. Connect payroll to eligible R&D work.
API & platform R&D
Document infrastructure uncertainty, scaling experiments, and architecture iterations.
ML experimentation
Capture model uncertainty, training regimes, and evaluation methodology — not routine ops.
Better than raw ChatGPT
CRA-aligned narrative structure with validation warnings — not unstructured AI drafts.
Git, tickets, and training logs
Link the evidence your engineering team already produces.
- Upload pay stubs, invoices, Git commits, specs, and experiment logs
- Link evidence directly to projects and fiscal years
- Organize an audit library before CRA sends a letter
- Team collaboration with role-based access for engineers and finance
- Attach GPU usage logs and experiment metrics to ML projects
Skip consultant delay
Self-serve prep with optional CPA review — structured and faster than manual consultant workflows.
Estimates only — compare to traditional consultant fees.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about SR&ED eligibility, our platform, and expert review.
- Does using AI automatically qualify for SR&ED?
- No. AI development is not automatically eligible. CRA looks for technological uncertainty and systematic experimentation — routine model tuning or product features may not qualify. ELEMONT helps you document eligible work with structure.
- How do we separate routine dev from SR&ED?
- Eligible work typically involves uncertainty you can't resolve with standard practice — new algorithms, architecture experiments, or performance breakthroughs. ELEMONT's project boundaries and narrative sections help you articulate the distinction.
- Can we link Git and ticket evidence?
- Yes. Upload and link commits, specs, experiment logs, and documentation to projects. Build an evidence trail that supports your technical narrative.
- What about GPU and cloud training costs?
- Eligible expenditures may include materials and subcontractor costs tied to SR&ED projects. Track and allocate these in the financial workspace — your CPA confirms final inclusion.
