How our SR&ED content is made

Our guides carry weight only if they're accurate. Here's how we research and review them, how we use AI, and where the line between education and tax advice sits.

Where our information comes from

SR&ED rules are set by the Canada Revenue Agency, and our guides are written from CRA primary sources — the Income Tax Act, the SR&ED policy documents, and the guidance in the T4088 that accompanies the T661. Where we describe a rule, we're describing the CRA's, not our own interpretation dressed up as fact.

How we handle figures that change

Rates, limits and thresholds change from year to year. We avoid stating a specific figure as timeless, and every guide that touches numbers carries a note to confirm the current figure with the CRA or your advisor before you rely on it. Tax facts that matter are kept with their source and the date they were checked, not hard-coded page by page.

Our review process

Content is drafted, checked against the primary source, and edited for accuracy and clarity before it's published. When we get something wrong, we fix it — if you spot an error, tell us and we'll correct it and note the change.

How we use AI

We use AI to help draft and organize, the same way our product does — as a starting point a person then checks and edits. No guide is published as raw model output. A human is responsible for every claim of fact on this site, and the editing pass exists precisely to catch the confident-but-wrong that AI drafting can produce.

Education, not tax advice

Our guides are general educational information about how SR&ED works. They are not tax advice, and they can't account for the specifics of your company or claim. For a decision that turns on your facts, confirm with the CRA or a qualified advisor. SREDlog the product reflects the same boundary: it prepares and organizes a claim; it never decides eligibility or files on your behalf.

Who writes this

Authorship & review

Prepared by the SREDlog editorial team. Independent professional review is pending — when a qualified SR&ED or tax reviewer signs off on our guides, we’ll name them here. Until then, we’d rather tell you that plainly than imply a credential we don’t have.
