Also: R&D tax software · credit software · incentive platform
Software that helps document, substantiate, estimate, or operationalize R&D incentive claims.
An R&D credit platform is a software product used to capture technical evidence, map expenses, estimate incentives, prepare claim workpapers, or support capital recovery workflows related to R&D tax and innovation incentives. Platforms are distinct from advisory firms: one is SoftwareApplication tooling; the other is ProfessionalService advice and representation. The Credit Index lists platforms separately from practitioners. Platform choice does not replace professional judgment or filing responsibility.
