What we've learned through traditional R&D claims
Most R&D claims are pulled together at the end of the tax year, long after the work has happened. This can work, but it naturally creates gaps as details become harder to recall over time.
Teams fall back on memory instead of maintaining reliable, real-time records.
Project timelines shift, people move between tasks and projects evolve, making it harder to accurately apportion time and expenditure later.
R&D work moves quickly, but claims built retrospectively can struggle to capture the full technical story behind the work.
Reconstructing a full year’s activity at once often requires more clarification and internal effort than teams expect.
Kore breaks the work into smaller, manageable steps across the year. You invest the same effort but in a way that’s easier to manage, leading to stronger evidence, clearer technical stories and a far smoother submission process.

Kore – FAQs
No. Kore is designed for organisations with regular R&D activity or fast‑moving projects. If your R&D is occasional, our one‑off claim service may be a better fit.
Yes. The difference is we build it progressively through the year from contemporaneous evidence, rather than reconstructing everything at the end. This more in-line with how HMRC like claims to be prepared; contemporaneous evidence that R&D was conducted systematically, not retrospectively described.
If your situation changes, we’ll discuss the right commercial model at renewal. We’re flexible!
Your Kore plan can include light‑touch monitoring or deeper support as an add‑on. We’ll help you coordinate incentives so they work together.
