Turn your existing R&D records into a prepared SR&ED claim.

No. Nearly everything SREDDY asks is about the work itself. The handful of questions about earlier claims and past spending just don't come up. Getting started walks through what the first session looks like.

The federal claim — T661 and Schedule 31 — is the same in every province, and SREDDY prepares it wherever you are. What differs is the provincial credit on top of it.

Alberta's Innovation Employment Grant is built and running. PEI, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut have no provincial R&D credit at all, so the federal claim is the whole claim there and SREDDY is complete for them today. The other nine provinces have programs we haven't built yet — your federal claim is still prepared in full, and the provincial top-up follows.

Not much. Point SREDDY at the folder as it is — payroll exports, invoices, specs, Jira or GitHub history, notes. It reads what is there, says what it found, and asks only for the few documents that would actually change the number. See what to give SREDDY.

You need whoever files your T2. SREDDY prepares the claim and hands over a keying sheet that says what to enter on which form, in what order, with the derivation behind every figure. Most accountants who don't specialise in SR&ED are happy to key a finished claim. Reading your claim explains what they will be looking at.

No — and nobody can file SR&ED on its own, because the claim is part of your corporate tax return. SREDDY prepares everything and you or your accountant file the T2 and the Alberta AT1 as usual. How to file shows who each document is for.

Your claim data is stored and processed in Canada by SREDDY — the database and the document server both run in Canadian data centres, and nothing SREDDY holds leaves the country. One honest qualifier: your own AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor) reads what you share with it and runs wherever its vendor hosts it, usually the United States. You choose which files it can read, and which AI you connect. Details in the privacy policy.

Neither, exactly. SREDDY is a connection you add to your own AI. Your AI asks the questions and drafts the write-ups, from whatever files you let it read. SREDDY sits behind it doing the parts an AI shouldn't be left to guess at: the calculations, the deadlines, the checks against the program rules. Nobody at Bison & Bird prepares or reviews your claim, which is why there's no percentage fee.

Eighteen months from the end of the tax year the work happened in. Miss it and that year's spending can't be claimed. The Alberta grant schedule has its own deadline for reaching TRA. Once SREDDY knows your year end it works out both dates and keeps them on your status card, with days remaining.

Every number in your package shows how it was worked out, and the working papers and evidence index are laid out the way a reviewer will ask for them. SREDDY doesn't speak to CRA on your behalf. If a review comes, your accountant or an SR&ED specialist can, from the same papers.
