Question 1

What is SREDlog?

Accepted Answer

SREDlog is an SR&ED claim and audit workspace. It turns your technical evidence into drafted CRA forms (T661, T2 Schedule 31, provincial), defensible project assessments, and a fully traceable, audit-ready binder.

Question 2

Does SREDlog file my SR&ED claim?

Accepted Answer

No. SREDlog prepares the forms and the supporting binder; you review and file them with your T2 return. It never determines eligibility or files on your behalf.

Question 3

What evidence can I upload?

Accepted Answer

Documents, dev logs, tickets, timesheets, images and PDFs (and CSV, XLSX, DOCX, TXT). You can also connect GitHub and reference sources by link. You link each item to the project it supports.

Question 4

Can I manage multiple clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Consultants and firms run every client, claim and project from one workspace, with a private workspace per client and tax year, a review queue and per-claim audit binders.

Question 5

Is the AI a black box?

Accepted Answer

No. Every AI output is a cautious, editable draft grounded in your own evidence. You and your evidence stay in control of every word that reaches the CRA.

Question 6

Does SREDlog decide what's eligible?

Accepted Answer

No. It surfaces the technical work in your evidence and drafts a per-project assessment that points to the evidence behind every call — but eligibility is always your decision to confirm.

Question 7

What forms does it draft?

Accepted Answer

The federal T661 and T2 Schedule 31, plus provincial SR&ED schedules — all as editable drafts that reconcile to your numbers, ready to review before filing.

Question 8

Can it help me write the T661 narratives?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It drafts the line 242 / 244 / 246 technical narratives from your linked evidence, so you start from a grounded draft instead of a blank page.

Question 9

Will it help in a CRA review?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's a core purpose. SREDlog maintains traceability from evidence to claimed amount and assembles an indexed audit binder, so a review is handing over what's already organized rather than a fire drill.

Question 10

Can consultants and accountants use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it's built for both in-house teams and the consultants and accounting firms that prepare claims for many clients.

Question 11

Do I need my own AI key?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SREDlog uses a bring-your-own-key model (OpenAI), so each firm controls its own AI usage and costs, and client data stays on your account.

Question 12

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every firm works in an isolated workspace with database row-level security, documents and secrets are encrypted at rest, and your AI runs on your own key — data is never pooled across firms or used to train models.

Question 13

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

In SREDlog's secure, encrypted storage, served over HTTPS, with per-firm isolation enforced at the database level. See the security page for details.

Question 14

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

Start a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. You bring your own AI key to switch on the AI features, and you can explore the full workspace before deciding.

Question 15

How much does SREDlog cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing scales with your annual claim volume, with every feature included and no per-seat fees. See the pricing page for current tiers.

Question 16

Is there a per-seat fee?

Accepted Answer

No. You can invite your whole team into your firm workspace; pricing is based on claim volume, not the number of users.
