# GrantOps Services — SR&ED, Grant Recovery, and Compliance Automation

GrantOps provides three core services for automating government incentive recovery in Canada, backed by a database of 5,500+ funding programs. Each service is designed to reduce manual effort by 85%, increase throughput by 9X, and ensure audit-ready compliance from day one.

## 1. SR&ED Tax Credit Automation

SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) is Canada's largest and most valuable R&D tax incentive, providing 15-35% credits on eligible expenditures through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). CCPCs can claim up to 35% refundable credits on the first $3 million in eligible R&D spending, while other corporations receive a 15% non-refundable credit. Provincial programs (Ontario OITC, Quebec R&D credits, BC SR&ED, Alberta AITC) can add an additional 4.5-30% on top of federal credits.

GrantOps automates the full SR&ED claim lifecycle:

- **Activity identification**: AI analyzes GitHub commits, GitLab merge requests, Jira tickets, Linear issues, Asana tasks, Slack conversations, and meeting notes to identify eligible technological uncertainty and systematic investigation — automatically and continuously
- **Technical narrative generation**: Produces CRA-compliant narratives covering the four required elements: technological uncertainty, hypothesis formulated, systematic investigation undertaken, and technological advancement achieved
- **Form completion**: Generates T661 forms (Parts 1-8), Schedule 31 (Investment Tax Credit), and all supporting documentation ready for CRA submission
- **Expenditure calculation**: Calculates eligible salaries (including time allocation), subcontractor costs (at 80% rule), materials consumed, and SR&ED overhead using the proxy method or traditional method
- **Audit preparation**: Maintains a complete evidence trail with every claim element linked to source data (commits, tickets, documents, communications) — the strongest possible audit defence

### Benefits of SR&ED Automation

- **85% less preparation time** — what took 4-8 weeks now takes days
- **Zero missed eligible activities** — AI scans all connected tools continuously
- **Higher claim values** — comprehensive detection finds activities manual review misses
- **Lower audit risk** — evidence-linked documentation meets CRA standards on first submission
- **No expensive consultants** — eliminate 15-25% contingency fees

Supported provinces: Ontario OITC, Quebec R&D Credits (RD&I), British Columbia SR&ED, Alberta Innovation Employment Grant (AITC), Saskatchewan R&D Tax Credit, Manitoba R&D Tax Credit

## 3. Continuous Compliance Monitoring

GrantOps runs year-round, not just at claim time — this is a fundamental shift from traditional retroactive SR&ED preparation:

- **Real-time R&D tracking** — captures eligible activities as your team works, not months later from memory
- **Automatic activity alerts** — notifications when new eligible SR&ED activities are detected in your connected tools
- **Continuous documentation** — audit-ready records maintained every day, not scrambled together at year end
- **Grant opportunity monitoring** — alerts when new programs are announced or existing programs reopen that match your profile
- **Deadline management** — tracks SR&ED filing deadlines (18 months from fiscal year end), grant submission windows, and renewal periods
- **Compliance dashboards** — real-time visibility into claim readiness, documentation completeness, and expenditure tracking

### Benefits of Continuous Monitoring

- **Stronger claims** — real-time evidence is always more compelling than retroactive reconstruction
- **No year-end scramble** — documentation is ready when you need it
- **Higher recovery rates** — nothing slips through the cracks
- **Reduced audit risk** — contemporaneous documentation is the CRA's gold standard
