# Automate SR&ED Claims with GrantOps | AI-Powered SR&ED Automation

GrantOps automates every step of the SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) tax credit claim process, replacing weeks of manual work and expensive consultants with an AI-powered platform that connects directly to your existing development tools.

## What GrantOps Automates

- **T661 Form Generation** — GrantOps auto-generates all eight parts of CRA Form T661, including project descriptions, expenditure schedules, and the prescribed information fields, ready for filing or review by your accountant
- **Technical Narrative Writing** — AI produces CRA-compliant technical narratives covering the four required pillars: technological uncertainty, hypothesis formulated, systematic investigation conducted, and technological advancement achieved
- **Expense Mapping & Calculation** — Automatically maps developer time to eligible SR&ED activities using data from GitHub, Jira, Linear, and other connected tools, then calculates qualifying expenditures using the proxy or traditional method
- **Evidence Collection** — Continuously captures commits, pull requests, tickets, meeting notes, and Slack conversations as contemporaneous evidence for audit defence

## How It Works

1. **Connect your tools** — OAuth or API key integration with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Linear, Asana, Slack, Notion, Confluence, and more. Setup takes under 15 minutes.
2. **AI analyzes your R&D** — GrantOps scans your activity history against CRA's three-part eligibility test, identifying qualifying work automatically and estimating claim value in real time.
3. **Auto-generate your claim** — Export a complete, audit-ready SR&ED package including T661 forms, technical narratives, Schedule 31, and supporting evidence — all linked to source data.

## GrantOps vs. Traditional SR&ED Consultants

| | GrantOps | Traditional Consultants |
|---|---|---|
| **Cost** | Flat SaaS fee | 15-25% of claim value |
| **Preparation time** | Days | 4-8 weeks |
| **Evidence quality** | Source-linked, contemporaneous | Often reconstructed retroactively |
| **Coverage** | All eligible activities detected by AI | Limited to what staff recall |
| **Year-round tracking** | Continuous, automatic | Annual retrospective exercise |
| **Audit readiness** | Every element linked to source data | Variable documentation quality |

Average CCPC SR&ED claim: $180,000+. Most eligible companies never file because the process is too complex. GrantOps changes that.
