SR&ED claims at 10%.
Not because we do less. Because our technology does more.
Cedar automates 70% of the claim process: evidence capture from coding tools, CRA-compliant narratives, filings that survive audits. Same credits. Half the industry cost.

You’re paying 20% for a copy-paste job.
The consultant sends the same T661 every year with minor edits. No visibility into what they actually did. The bill arrives and the question is always the same: is this worth it?
Engineers dread SR&ED season.
The annual ritual: pull developers into 3-hour interviews to reconstruct work from six months ago. The documentation that comes out of it is unreliable. Memory at six months is unreliable.
Only the safe projects get claimed.
Fear of a CRA audit means only the obvious R&D work gets filed. But failed experiments qualify. So do DevOps improvements and the iterative prototyping happening every sprint. That’s 30-40% left on the table.
We work with the data your team already produces.
Payroll exports, time tracking, project management, version control. Bring what you have. Cedar handles the rest.

10% Flat Fee
The industry charges 15-25% because the work is manual. Cedar automates 70% of the claim process, and we pass the savings through. 10% of successful credits, full stop.
Cedar Capture
A plugin that runs in your team’s IDE: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex. At the end of each coding session, it captures technological uncertainty, iterations, and results in CRA-compliant format. No interviews. No year-end scramble.
Audit-Ready by Default
Claims built on contemporaneous evidence, captured during development. Three-level linking: monthly summaries, project tickets, code commits. CRA reviewers see evidence, not prose.
Expert Validation
We use AI to capture evidence and draft narratives. Practitioners with pre-LLM SR&ED expertise review the claims. CRA is cracking down on AI-generated filings from volume shops, and ours don’t look like those.
