questions answered
We get it – SR&ED is confusing. Here are the questions we hear most.
You almost certainly qualify, and you may be leaving significant money unclaimed. The CRA does not require a laboratory, a PhD, or a physical product. What matters is whether your developers faced genuine technological uncertainty — meaning they had to experiment, iterate, or solve problems where the outcome wasn’t knowable in advance. Building a novel algorithm, training a custom ML model, architecting a system that pushed beyond existing frameworks, or solving a performance problem with no known solution all count. In fact, software is one of the most commonly qualifying categories in Canada. Our AI platform is specifically designed to surface qualifying work inside your existing sprint history and project documentation, including work your team may not have thought to flag. If you shipped something technically difficult in the last three years, book a free 30-minute call and we will tell you exactly what qualifies.
Most SR&ED firms send a consultant who interviews your team for several hours, writes a report manually, and charges 18 to 25 percent of your claim for the privilege. GrowWise built a supervised AI platform that changes the economics of the entire process. Our AI conducts structured technical interviews with your engineers, analyzes your project data, and drafts CRA-ready documentation in a fraction of the time. Your team typically spends fewer than 5 hours total, compared to 20 to 40 hours with a traditional consultant. Every output is then reviewed and approved by a certified SR&ED specialist before submission, so you get AI speed with professional accountability. We are also the only Canadian firm that routinely stacks SR&ED with Cleantech Investment Tax Credits and provincial Digital Media credits in a single engagement, which means our clients frequently recover credits that a single-service firm would never find.
Our standard engagement is fully contingency-based. You pay nothing upfront, nothing during the process, and nothing at all unless we successfully recover credits for you. Our fee is a percentage of the credit recovered, and because our AI platform significantly reduces the manual labour involved, our rates are among the lowest in the industry. For companies with $1 million or more in annual R&D spend, we also offer a flat annual fee structure that provides full predictability. Either way, there are no hidden fees, no retainers, and no invoices before your refund arrives. We disclose exact rates on your free assessment call, with no obligation to proceed.
From the time you engage us, most claims are ready for submission within 3 to 5 weeks. The industry average for traditional consultants is 8 to 14 weeks. The bigger question for most founders is how much it disrupts their engineering team, and the honest answer is: very little. Our AI interview process typically takes a lead engineer or CTO less than 90 minutes total. We work from your existing documentation, sprint histories, and project records wherever possible, so we are not creating a second job for your technical staff. Once submitted, most CCPC clients receive their refund within 60 to 120 days of their fiscal year-end. We manage the entire CRA process from submission through to payment.
A CRA review is a normal part of the SR&ED program, particularly for first-time claimants, and it is nothing to fear when your claim is built correctly. Full audit defence is included in every GrowWise engagement at no additional cost. That means if CRA contacts us with questions, requests additional documentation, or initiates a formal review, we handle it. We respond on your behalf, prepare all supporting materials, and represent your claim through to resolution. Our 98 percent approval rate reflects the quality of the technical narratives and documentation our platform produces. We build every claim as if it will be audited, because the best way to pass a CRA review is to never give them a reason to question your work in the first place.
