A faster way to understand whether your work may qualify.

Instead of asking your team to guess what counts, the page now gives visitors a practical pre-screen: the kinds of work, records, expenses, and business profile that usually matter in an R&D credit review.

Quick qualification signals
Strong fit
01
Are you building or improving technology?
Software, hardware, manufacturing processes, internal tools, infrastructure, or product systems can create qualifying activity.
Common
02
Did your team face technical uncertainty?
The strongest studies explain what was uncertain, what alternatives were tested, and why the work required experimentation.
Key test
03
Do you have payroll, contractor, or cloud spend?
These records often form the cost base for a credit study when they connect to eligible work.
Reviewable
04
Are your records scattered?
That is normal. Institution helps collect and structure the support before it becomes a year-end scramble.
