About RAD

RAD is a technology layer that autonomously builds a complete, secure and accessible record of work across processes, tools and teams. Starting with R&D, it turns everyday activity into structured evidence of what teams did, why and how the work progressed. Paired with expert advisers, RAD connects evidence capture to finished claims—redefining how businesses claim R&D.

🎯 The Problem

R&D happens every day. The evidence gets rebuilt at year end. Teams spend hundreds of hours reconstructing experiments, decisions and outcomes, while advisers charge thousands to turn fragmented records into claims. The cost and complexity leave businesses paying heavily to claim—or not claiming at all.

💡 The Solution

RAD captures work as it happens and turns it into structured R&D evidence. Paired with expert advisers, it connects the record to a finished claim, with qualified judgement where it matters. Year-round capture reduces retrospective admin, streamlines claim preparation and creates the foundation for R&D finance.
