Meet Lucius, the AI agent behind Chrono R&D. Whether you're filing your own claim or preparing one for a client, it reads the engineering activity and turns it into structured, audit-ready R&D evidence.

File at AI speed

Lucius clusters eligible work, reconstructs hours, and pulls together technical summaries from activity already logged, so claims come together in days instead of weeks.

Built to survive a CRA review

Every hour and summary traces back to a real source record. Evidence is organized and defensible before anything is filed.

Works with the tools already in place

Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps, Slack, and more. Connect once and Chrono reads the activity automatically, no new workflow required.

Claiming SR&ED, or preparing it?

Companies

You're claiming SR&ED

Pull audit-ready evidence from the tools your team already uses, reconstruct R&D hours without timesheets, and file faster with documentation that holds up to a CRA review.

For claimants Consultants

You're a SR&ED consultant

Prepare more claims in less time. Chrono gathers and organizes the engineering evidence so you spend your hours on review, technical narratives, and strategy instead of chasing data.

For consultants

What teams say after connecting Chrono R&D

"The automatic categorization of time saves us days of work in a year and creates concrete R&D evidence for our claims. Getting our team to document R&D work used to be painful. Once we connected our tools, Chrono automatically categorized thousands of engineering hours and pulled everything together. Our reports were structured and audit-ready within days - a huge shift from the manual chaos we were used to."

Frequently asked questions

How does Chrono R&D work?
Chrono connects to the tools engineers already use — Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps, Slack, and more — reads the commits, tickets, and sprint activity already logged, and organizes it into clustered projects, reconstructed hours, and technical summaries to review. Every output traces back to a source record, which is what keeps a claim defensible during a CRA review.
Is Chrono R&D for companies claiming SR&ED or for consultants?
Both. Companies use Chrono R&D to file faster with audit-ready evidence pulled from their own tools. Consultants use it to prepare more claims in less time, gathering and organizing engineering evidence so their hours go to review and strategy. Companies should start on the SR&ED page; consultants should see the consultants page.
How are R&D hours estimated if my team doesn't track time?
Lucius reconstructs hours from activity already captured in your PM tools and repos — commits, tickets, sprint activity, and similar signals. Each entry links back to the original source record, so you can see what the estimate is based on and adjust anything that looks off.
Does my data need to be perfectly organized?
Chrono R&D is built for real engineering environments where data lives across different tools and is not always perfectly organized. You do not need a pristine setup to get useful output.
Do I have to install anything?
Nothing to install on your engineers' end. You'll connect your tools through Chrono R&D, confirm a few setup details, and Lucius starts pulling activity from there.
Is my data secure?
Chrono R&D uses end-to-end encryption and role-based access controls. All data is hosted in Canada, and the platform is SOC 2 compliant.
Who is Chrono R&D for?
Canadian companies doing R&D that already log engineering activity in tools like Jira, GitHub, or Azure DevOps, and the SR&ED consultants who prepare claims for them. If you're filing SR&ED, or preparing claims for clients, Chrono R&D gives you a faster path through the technical documentation side of the process.
How long does setup take?
Most teams connect their tools in under a day and start seeing activity come through right away. Getting to a useful first draft takes longer because someone still needs to review the output and decide what belongs, but you'll have something real to react to much faster than if you started from scratch.
