When Does Software Innovation Actually Become SR&ED?
“We developed a revolutionary AI platform. We’re definitely doing SR&ED innovation, right?” This is probably the sentence we hear most often. And yet… The answer isn’t necessarily yes. Yes, a company can invest several million dollars, mobilize a team of 30 developers for two years, and create a completely unprecedented product… without carrying out a […]
AI Is Transforming Drug Discovery, but Good Data Remains the Foundation
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the landscape of drug discovery. From identifying novel therapeutic targets to predicting molecular interactions and optimizing lead compounds, AI-driven approaches promise to accelerate research while reducing development costs. However, despite impressive advances in computational methods, one fundamental principle remains unchanged: the quality of AI predictions depends on the quality […]
The SR&ED Documentation Problem: Can AI help?
When an SR&ED claim is selected for review, a company will need documentation to support both the work performed and the expenditures claimed. The problem is not always a lack of evidence. In many cases, the information exists, but it is spread across different systems, departments and file formats. Technical records may be stored in […]
Predicting Hygrothermal Aging and Mechanical Degradation in Composite Materials
Abstract Polymer matrix composites are widely used in aerospace, automotive, energy, and marine applications due to their high specific strength, low density, and design flexibility. However, their long-term performance can be significantly affected by harsh environmental conditions, particularly combined exposure to moisture and temperature variations. Hygrothermal aging induces complex degradation mechanisms, including moisture diffusion through […]
