After a year of solving hard problems, SR&ED shouldn't be one of them.
Your engineers logged the work. Lucius reads it and turns it into structured, reviewable draft material, so you're not piecing it together after the fact.
Connect your tools and see what Lucius finds. You review everything before it goes into a claim.
As seen in
Built for SR&ED and everything that comes with it.
Track R&D hours and find eligible work using the tools your team already uses without adding anything to their workflow.
Getting started means connecting your tools and confirming a few setup details. From there, Lucius starts pulling together draft material from the work already in your systems.
Technical write-ups from real work data
Lucius drafts technical narratives from your commits, tickets, and sprint notes, so your team has something real to review and build on instead of starting from memory.
Time tracking that doesn't require timesheets
Lucius reconstructs R&D hours from activity already captured in your PM tools and repos. Each entry links back to its source record, so you can review exactly what's included before you export anything.
Find R&D work hiding in your backlog
Lucius surfaces clusters of work that may be SR&ED eligible and suggests how to group them into projects. Your team confirms what fits before anything is added to the claim.
Built from the work behind the claim
Lucius organizes the claim foundation from the engineering activity behind it. Nothing gets carried forward without your team seeing it first.
Plays nice with your stack (even an imperfect one)
Chrono R&D runs alongside your engineering work year-round. Connect your tools once, and Lucius keeps building from what your team logs.
Connect once and Chrono reads activity automatically across all your repos, projects, and calendars. Most engineering teams are fully covered within a day. The more tools you connect, the more complete your SR&ED documentation becomes.
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."
