“Was there a technological or scientific uncertainty that could not be solved by standard practice?”
Meaning that you have advanced the state of technology by enhancing a characteristic or extending a capability.
“Did your work involve a hypothesis aimed at reducing or eliminating uncertainty?”
A hypothesis is simply referring to how you will attempt to resolve the issues identified before experimentation begins.
“Was the procedure consistent with the scientific method?”
Meaning including formulating, testing, and modifying the hypothesis, whether or not it proved the hypothesis is correct.
“Did the process result in technological or scientific advancement?”
An advancement on a technical level, not a business one. Even a failure can qualify because it has advanced your knowledge.
“Was everything properly recorded as work progressed?”
Your work should be fully documented. Clearly demonstrating why each major element is required and fits into the project is important. Examples such as e-mails, minutes, logs, notes, etc.
Application Process
SR&ED applications can seem daunting, there are many others competing for the same funding and the application has restrictions in word count as well. One great news is that you can still file a claim up to 18 months after your fiscal year-end, giving you time to refine and adjust your application without much stress on the deadline.
Even though a SR&ED application is about receiving the funding it is mostly focused on your work, research, developments, failure and successes. It’s important to properly document a project’s development and whatever lessons have arisen along the way.
