Team Coordination
ReaDI-Watch enables you to turn R&D funding from a fragmented, key-person process into a coordinated and repeatable team capability, reducing funding risk and administrative effort. Bring technical, finance and management teams together around one live funding plan, with clear ownership of projects, milestones, evidence, time, costs and actions. The ReaDI Assistant guides each person on what is required, captures decisions and progress as they happen, and keeps the team aligned to the funding requirements. Replace scattered spreadsheets, emails and individual know-how with a shared, traceable process that makes claims and drawdowns easier to deliver, repeat and scale.
Team Coordination
Different roles. One system. Real progress.
Our collaboration with ReaDI-Watch is very important for our business. We are working with them closely to digitalize our RD&I governance & leadership. We need to innovate, and our innovation effectiveness is centrally important to our success.
R&D Tax Credit Case Study — MedTech Product Development
A MedTech company on a deep R&D journey toward FDA compliance had substantial qualifying activity — but their documentation was built entirely around quality management, not R&D tax. No time-tracking infrastructure. No R&D tax framing. ReaDI translated their quality evidence into a $500K+ CAD claim without disrupting their regulatory workflow.
The Situation
This company was in the middle of a multi-year product development journey toward FDA clearance. The science was genuine, the experiments were real, and the technological uncertainty was profound — navigating novel materials, device architectures, and biocompatibility challenges that had never been resolved before. But their documentation infrastructure was built entirely around their Quality Management System. Design History Files, risk assessments, verification and validation protocols — all rigorous, all auditable, but none framed around R&D tax criteria. No time-tracking system linked to R&D activities or project codes. The team feared that R&D tax and quality compliance requirements would conflict.
The R&D Structure
The quality journey and the R&D journey ran in parallel — same experiments, same artefacts, different lenses. Inside the quality-documented activities, a profound R&D journey was unfolding. At design & feasibility, which materials, architectures, or mechanisms could meet performance targets was not known — multiple hypotheses formed and tested, many failed. During V&V, test failures weren’t just compliance gaps but experimental outcomes. Toward regulatory filing, the path to FDA clearance required resolving technical questions with no established answer. ReaDI read the quality evidence through an R&D tax lens and surfaced the R&D story it already contained.
The Result
$500K+ CAD claim filed, built entirely from existing quality documentation. No new systems required. No disruption to the FDA compliance programme. ReaDI reviewed the Design History File, V&V protocols, and risk documentation, extracted technological uncertainty and experimental iterations from within quality-structured records, and conducted structured interviews with the scientific and engineering team. Time-tracking framework and R&D expenditure categorisation introduced for FY+1.
Navigating a deep R&D journey toward regulatory approval?
If your team is advancing science under genuine technological uncertainty — in MedTech, biotech, or life sciences — you likely qualify for significant SR&ED credits. ReaDI works from what you already have. No disruption. No parallel systems.

ReaDI is a structured platform, supported by an expert team, that helps R&D-intensive organisations capture, document and fund their Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) activity. It keeps the work organised, defensible and ready for reporting, funding and decision-making, instead of leaving it scattered across people’s memories, inboxes and spreadsheets.
Both. The platform provides a structured environment, while our team can help define projects, maintain momentum and support reporting where needed. You get a managed system with expert support, as well as access to the software.
No. Many organisations we work with do not have a formal R&D function. The work can sit across engineering, product, operations and quality. ReaDI helps when your team is solving technical problems but cannot easily show what was tried, what worked and why.
RD&I becomes more structured and easier to manage. Projects are framed clearly from the outset, documentation is captured as the work happens and leadership gains better visibility. This reduces the need to reconstruct technical activity at year-end.
The aim is to make capturing your team’s work feel like a natural part of the process, without adding a separate administrative burden. ReaDI works alongside your existing tools and workflows, so engineers do not have to adopt a completely different way of working.
