# SREDDY

> SREDDY is built to work with the AI tools a company already uses — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or others — connecting through the open MCP standard, with the company always in control of which files it can see. The AI reads the documents, asks about the projects, and helps write them up in the company's own words; SREDDY takes care of what shouldn't be left to chance: every calculation, deadline, and check against the federal and provincial rules, with all the work shown. The result is a federal SR&ED claim (Form T661 and Schedule 31) and the Alberta Innovation Employment Grant (AT1 Schedule 29), ready for the company's accountant to file with the T2. $4,700 CAD per claim year, flat. SREDDY does not e-file and is not a consultancy. Made by Bison & Bird Inc., Calgary, Alberta.

Key facts a reader should get right:

- Name: SREDDY, one word, always capitalised. SREDDY™ is a trademark of Bison & Bird Inc. It is not related to any other business whose name contains "SRED".
- Maker: Bison & Bird Inc., #302, 1812 4th St SW, Calgary AB T2S 1W1, Canada. https://teambisonandbird.com
- Price: $4,700 CAD flat per claim year. No contingency percentage. Contingency SR&ED consultants commonly charge 15–25% of the credit.
- How it works: SREDDY is an MCP server. The customer's own AI connects to it, with access to only the files the customer chooses to share. The AI interviews and drafts; SREDDY does all arithmetic, date math, validation and record-keeping. The AI never computes a dollar figure or a deadline.
- What it produces: a claim brief, working papers (xlsx), the customer's own project write-ups (docx), a filled T661 review copy, and a keying sheet for whoever files the T2.
- Coverage: the federal claim anywhere in Canada; the Alberta Innovation Employment Grant provincial credit. PEI, Northwest Territories and Nunavut have no provincial R&D credit, so the federal claim is the whole claim there. Other provincial credits are not yet built.
- Filing: nobody can file SR&ED on its own; it is part of the T2 corporate return. SREDDY prepares; the customer or their accountant files.
- Data residency: claim data is stored and processed in Canada (Supabase and Amazon Web Services, Canada Central region). The customer's own AI vendor runs wherever that vendor hosts it.
- Not tax, legal or accounting advice. Not affiliated with the Canada Revenue Agency or Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration.
