How it Works

R&D and Innovation - in One Place
ReaDI-Watch guides your team through framing, capturing, quantifying, and sharing of your Research, Development, and Innovation Journey.
This journey is typically undocumented, hard to articulate, and time consuming to report & share for funding, compliance and decision-making purposes.
Your RD&I Journey, Your Way
Every organisation approaches R&D and Innovation differently. The process is shaped by its people, processes, governance, and goals. ReaDI-Watch is designed to adapt to that reality, not force teams into rigid templates.
The platform starts with proven defaults based on RD&I best practice and ISO standards, and can be configured to reflect your organisation’s roles, policies, definitions, and funding requirements. These settings guide how the platform works in the background, supporting the right governance and decision-making without adding complexity for teams.
ReaDI-Watch also allows different configurations to be applied across projects, teams, or regions, making it easy to support scaled and distributed organisations while maintaining consistency and control.
ReaDI-Watch's team of experts can work with you in a set of structured workshops to define your company’s system of governance structures, policies, and processes.
ReaDI-Watch’s team of experts can help you answer the question “What is an RD&I project for my company?”
Define your RD&I Projects
Projects serve as the backbone on which your company’s RD&I Journey will be told, and provide a critical lens for the ongoing data ReaDI-Watch will help your team capture.
Every company has its own definition for what constitutes an RD&I project. A project is often described differently for R&D tax credits and other funders as well. In order to optimise for all reporting outcomes, RD&I projects are framed simply with a flexible, lightweight narrative.
ReaDI-Watch offers a template library with great project definition examples, tailored to your funding authorities, or you can use your company’s own format.
Capture your Real-Time RD&I Journey
Create updates in multiple ways to suit different teams and workflows.
Updates can be:
-
self-written;
-
created from uploaded documents; and/or
-
captured through short, interview-led sessions with our team.
Together, these updates build a living, time-stamped history of R&D activity that preserves context, decisions, and progress as innovation happens.
ReaDI-Watch’s team of experts can conduct concise, regular interviews and workshops, then prepare the necessary updates on behalf of the team. This dedicated approach guarantees that important technical work is accurately documented without adding extra demands to the team's workload.
ReaDI-Watch's team of experts can help you maximize the usage of the platform, advise on aligning processes within your company, conduct claim-based gap analyses, and steward you through your milestones and claim preparation process.
Quantify RD&I - Time, Cost & Claims
ReaDI-Watch allows time and costs to be captured directly within each RD&I project. Teams can choose between two flexible operating modes:
Operational Mode provides a full time-logging and expense management system, enabling structured data capture alongside RD&I updates. This information feeds real-time dashboards and is immediately available for reporting and compliance.
Update-Only Mode supports organisations that use existing tools for time and expense tracking. In this mode, periodic summaries are captured within RD&I updates and maintained as part of the project record.
Regardless of the mode selected, ReaDI-Watch brings all project data together through a central claim management feature, supporting consistent administration, reporting, and audit readiness.
Query & Report
ReaDI-Watch makes reporting a natural extension of how R&D actually happens. Instead of starting from a blank page, reports are drafted directly from the RD&I Updates, evidence, and decisions already captured across your projects.
An interactive, AI-guided experience helps you assemble first-draft reports for boards, steering groups, and R&D tax submissions—section by section, fully aligned to your company’s standards and reporting requirements. Quantified data, narratives, and visuals flow straight from live project activity into structured, exportable documents.
The result is faster, more reliable reporting, stronger alignment between teams and governance, and a continuous R&D narrative that compounds in value over time.
