SR&ED software vs spreadsheets

A spreadsheet can carry a single, simple claim. The trouble starts when a claim has to be defended — when a reviewer asks which document supports a number, and the answer is spread across five files nobody kept in sync.

Where spreadsheets break down

The problem isn't effort, it's that the tool can't hold a claim together.

Evidence drifts apart

Proof of the work scatters across tools no spreadsheet can pull together.

Narratives get rushed

A blank cell is no starting point, late write-ups are weaker and harder to defend.

Numbers fall out of sync

The same figures, re-keyed across forms by hand, drift, and reviewers notice.

Audit prep starts too late

Build the binder only after the CRA asks and the evidence trail has gone cold.

Keep your evidence, lose the spreadsheets

Upload what you already have, connect GitHub, and let SREDlog turn it into drafted forms and an audit-ready binder.
