What is Chrono R&D?

Chrono R&D is a software platform built for SR&ED consultants. It helps you prepare claims faster, strengthen supporting documentation, and create a better experience for you, your team, and your clients. We are not a SR&ED firm, and we do not file claims. Chrono R&D is your trusted tool to get your work done in less time.

Why leading SR&ED consultants partner with Chrono R&D

SR&ED consultants shouldn't spend valuable hours collecting evidence, chasing engineering teams, or rebuilding technical summaries from months-old project data. Chrono R&D automates the heavy lifting behind claim preparation, so you deliver stronger claims in less time while keeping complete control over your client relationships.

Reduce claim preparation by 80%

Chrono identifies work clusters and technical summaries from the activity your clients' teams already logged. Prep that took weeks takes hours.

Pull audit-ready evidence from the tools your clients use

Identify work clusters and technical summaries directly from Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and other engineering tools. Each entry links back to its source record.

Take on more clients without raising delivery costs

Less manual reconstruction per claim means your team handles more engagements with the same headcount.

Strengthen claim defensibility

Source-linked evidence ties each claim back to real engineering activity, so it holds up under CRA review.

Keep ownership of the client relationship

Chrono is the tool behind your work. You own the claim, the advice, and the client. We never file claims or compete for them.

Common questions

Is Chrono R&D a competitor to SR&ED consultants?
No. Chrono R&D is software, not a consultancy. We don't file claims or advise clients. Consultants use Chrono to prepare claims faster and with stronger documentation, while keeping full ownership of the client relationship.
How does Chrono reduce claim preparation time?
Chrono connects to the engineering tools your clients already use, like Jira, GitHub, and Azure DevOps, and turns the activity logged there into work clusters and technical summaries. Your team reviews and refines instead of starting from a blank page.
Do I keep control of the claim?
Yes. Chrono produces work clusters and technical summaries for you to review, edit, and approve. Every entry links back to its source record, so you can verify exactly what is included before anything goes into a claim.
What does it cost to partner with Chrono?
Partners access the platform at partner pricing, with a model matched to how you work, whether that's referral, co-selling, or full delivery. Apply and our team will walk you through the options.
