Turn Your R&D Into a Revenue Engine—Not a Cost Sink.
We help tech-forward companies accelerate innovation, eliminate waste, and reclaim millions through strategic SR&ED and high-performance R&D systems.
Most R&D teams operate below their potential—wasting budget, spinning on the wrong problems, and leaving SR&ED money unclaimed. At Robust Solutions Pro, we engineer R&D strategies that eliminate inefficiencies, reduce cognitive biases, and transform tax credits into growth capital.
The Government of Canada gives over $4 billion annually to support R&D through SR&ED.
If your business is doing R&D—even if you’re not in a high-tech field—you may already be eligible for tens of thousands in SR&ED tax credits.
Has your team…
Developed new products or improved existing ones?
Solved technical problems during development or prototyping?
Faced trial-and-error or unexpected failures?
Integrated technologies that weren’t originally designed to work together?
Filed for patents or considered patenting new innovations?
Conducted research, prototyping, or testing recently — especially in your last fiscal year?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you could qualify for a significant SR&ED refund.
🎯 Not Sure Where You Stand?
Start with Our Innovation Library – A series of guide to eliggibility, uncertainty, documentation, and strategies
We are R&D experts who know SR&ED, not the other way around who know SR&ED and are trying to understand R&D.
We’re R&D experts who understand SR&ED—not consultants who learn R&D on the fly.
We make your R&D more impactful, more efficient—and naturally SR&ED-eligible.
We elevate your SR&ED claims by designing for eligibility from the start—not retrofitting after the fact.
Ready to embrace AI in your SR&ED filing? Congratulations—you're ahead of the curve.

What We deliver
From one-time claims to ongoing innovation systems – we help you invent better, document smarter, and claim bigger.
🔍 1. SR&ED Claim & Defence
For active or recent projects that need audit-ready submission.
We prepare technical narratives, cost allocations, and real-time evidence that stand up to CRA scrutiny.
➡️ Already did the work? We’ll help you tell the story CRA wants to hear—clearly, completely, and credibly.
🚀 2. R&D Optimization & Strategy
For teams who feel their work is “too smart” to be uncertain—or too routine to be eligible.
We map your R&D pipeline against CRA standards using TRIZ, cognitive-bias analysis, and AI tools to surface hidden opportunities.
Includes:
- Innovation Opportunity Audit → TRIZ + Bias Hot-Spot Map
- SR&ED Strategy Advisory → Design smarter R&D to remain claimable
Bias-Proof R&D Sprint → 4-week overhaul with AI templates & TRIZ support
➡️ Unsure if your current work qualifies? We’ll help you build uncertainty—and advancement—into your next project
🧠 3. Capability Building & Internal Training
For organizations ready to embed SR&ED compliance into everyday R&D.
We train your team to formulate effective hypotheses, capture learnings, and document like CRA expects—all without slowing them down.
Includes:
- TRIZ-in-a-Day Workshops (How to break out of compromise deadlocks and rediscover real innovation)
- Cognitive-Bias Boot Camp
- Design of Experiment (DOE)
- Data analysis with Machine Learning/AI and statistics
- Best Documentation Practices
➡️ Want your scientists to do SR&ED-ready work without relying on consultants forever? We’ll train them to think and record like CRA reviewers.
🔄 4. Ongoing Support: The Catalyst Programme
For teams ready to reduce audit risk, streamline claims, and scale innovation.
We embed a coach + install the Live Engineering Log™ to help you track uncertainty, insights, and eligible labour—all in real time.
Includes:
- Embedded Ph.D. R&D coach
- Quarterly Scorecards
- Claim readiness dashboard
➡️ Want SR&ED to become routine, predictable, and low-risk? We’ll make that happen—without adding headcount.
“SR&ED isn’t the goal—it’s the reward.” – Alec Zhou, Ph.D.
🔍 Mini Case: From Moldy
Rooms to SR&ED Rewards
🛠️ Problem
Drying rooms were inconsistent and inefficient:
- Drying
time: 2–4 weeks - Labour:
4 people per shift, including 1–6 a.m. monitoring - Moisture
levels unpredictable, high mould loss - Staff
burnout and low saleable yield
💡 TRIZ Insight
Contradiction matrix exposed the tradeoffs among flavor loss, molding,
speed, productivity, rack layout, fan speed—a classic system design and
operation conflicts.
🧠 Bias Removed
Team had accepted low productivity and poor quality as norm since that is the
legacy way.
We replaced status-quo thinking with rapid CFD/Statistics-guided design
iterations.
🚀 Outcome
- Drying
time cut by 50% (down to 1 week) - Labour
demand halved - Mould
eliminated, 100% saleable product - 120K
SR&ED refund earned for the improvements
✅ Engineering wins. Innovation documented. Claim accepted.
