The problem with R&D tax relief today
Slow, disruptive workshops
Too much back-and-forth across teams, timed around deadlines — not delivery.
Weak audit trail
Claims without clear evidence links increase risk and create rework during review.
One-off effort every year
Starting from scratch wastes context and makes it hard to build repeatable processes.
