The problem with traditional R&D claims
Most R&D claims are pulled together at the end of the year, long after the work has happened. That’s where the problems start.
Teams fall back on memory instead of maintaining reliable, real-time records.
Inaccurate or incomplete allocations reduce the overall value of the claim.
Last-minute data requests and unclear timelines create avoidable pressure and delays.
Claims aren’t built with the depth or structure needed to withstand tougher review.
R&D activity evolves fast, but the claim process remains slow, fragmented, and reactive.
The result? A claim that feels harder than it should and one that carries more risk than you realise.
Kore fixes this by shifting the entire process from retrospective to real-time. Instead of rebuilding the past, you capture the right information as you go, strengthening compliance and saving your team hours of work.
