FY24/25 RDTI Registration closes April 30, 2026|23d 04h 46m 24s

R&D Tax Compliance Infrastructure

R&D claims that stand up
under scrutiny.

Advisors define the compliance framework. Clients capture evidence within it. Every entry is timestamped, classified against ATO activity categories, and cryptographically sealed — before the ATO asks.

Built in partnership with a former Deloitte National R&D Tax Leader. Currently in active pilot with Australian RDTI claims.

The Problem

R&D compliance fails when evidence lives in email threads and memory.

Your clients generate R&D evidence every day. Most of it disappears before the claim. ClaimProof gives it structure, timestamps, and a defensible audit trail — without changing how your clients work.

The current state
Evidence sits in email threads, shared drives, and memory. When the ATO asks, advisors spend 20–40 hours per client reconstructing what happened.
Word templates and spreadsheets document intent but prove nothing about timing, authorship, or completeness.
Clients generate R&D evidence every day — in Slack, photos, field notes. None of it is structured or defensible.
The generic AI problem
ChatGPT can draft narrative, but narrative without provenance is an ATO red flag. There are no timestamps, no attribution, no evidence chain.
AI outputs look plausible but are untraceable. An auditor can’t verify when something was written or by whom.
Advisors risk promoter penalties under Division 290 if they submit AI-generated content they can’t substantiate.
With ClaimProof
Advisors configure the compliance framework once. Clients capture evidence inside it as they work. Nothing exists outside the structure.
Every entry is timestamped, hashed with SHA-256, and tied to the advisor who approved it and the client who created it.
AI assists with classification and drafting — but every output is flagged as draft until a qualified advisor approves it.

Built for Both Sides

Two dedicated experiences. One compliance layer.

Infrastructure for how you advise — not a replacement for your judgment.

You define the compliance framework. Your clients capture evidence inside it. ClaimProof enforces the structure and seals the audit trail. When the ATO comes knocking, the evidence is already there.

You control the compliance gate

Clients cannot submit evidence, complete sessions, or finalise claims without your approval. Every step enforces the framework you defined.

Defensible professional attribution

Every evidence piece is cryptographically tied to the advisor who approved it, the client who created it, and the exact timestamp.

Scale without adding headcount

Structured workflows replace the year-end evidence scramble. Define once, reuse across clients. Capacity grows without proportional cost.

AI that enforces, not fabricates

70+ guardrail patterns block non-compliant language before submission. AI-generated content is flagged as draft until you approve it.

See How It Works

How It Works

The advisor defines the rules. The client captures within them.

Unlike Word documents and spreadsheets, ClaimProof enforces compliance at the database level. This isn't a tool you use alongside your process — it is the process.

01
ADVISOR

Define the framework

Articulate technical uncertainty, structure core and supporting activities, document experimental intent. AI assists with classification — but the advisor approves every determination.

02
LOCK

Frame becomes immutable

The advisor locks the session. The compliance framework is now cryptographically sealed with SHA-256 hashing. No one can alter it — not the client, not the advisor, not ClaimProof.

03
CLIENT

Capture evidence within the frame

Clients log their R&D work through a dedicated portal. Every upload is timestamped, hashed, and linked to the activities the advisor defined. Evidence is captured as work happens.

04
EXPORT

Audit-ready documentation

One-click export produces a complete compliance package: full attribution, immutable timestamps, evidence chain, and professional sign-off. Ready for ATO review.

Architecture

Four structural decisions baked into every layer.

These aren't features you can toggle off. They're architectural choices made at inception.

Advisor-locked workflows

Clients cannot submit, complete, or finalise without advisor approval. The framework you define is the framework that’s enforced.

Immutable audit trails

Every action permanently recorded with SHA-256 hashing. Created, modified, approved — timestamped and attributed.

70+ AI guardrail patterns

Non-compliant language and ATO red flags are blocked at the point of entry. Compliance is enforced proactively, not reviewed retrospectively.

Division 355 native

Every compliance rule, classification check, and export format is built around ATO requirements. No workarounds or manual alignment needed.

Evidence Onboarding Suite

Already behind on documentation?

Upload your existing R&D evidence — emails, reports, photos, invoices, lab notes — and get back a categorised, timestamped evidence package classified against ATO activity categories. No advisor relationship required to start.

AI-powered document classification using Claude Sonnet
Retrospective evidence clearly timestamped — never presented as contemporaneous
Structured output links evidence to activities and expenditure categories
Completed packages become the starting point for advisor engagement

Why This Exists

Built because the tools were failing the advisors.

R&D tax advisors are brilliant at compliance. They understand what the ATO expects, how to structure activities, and how to defend a claim under scrutiny. What they didn't have was infrastructure that enforced their methodology at the point of evidence capture.

Instead, they spent hundreds of hours per year reconstructing evidence their clients had already generated — just in the wrong format, the wrong place, at the wrong time. The advisory skill was there. The structural enforcement was not.

Our founding pilot partner is a former National Leader of Government Incentives at Deloitte, now running his own advisory practice. When someone with that background chooses to build their next practice workflow on your infrastructure, the architecture has to be right.
