Meet AIRA
An AI-guided interview engine that turns busy technical staff into complete, audit-ready R&D tax evidence — in a conversation that takes minutes, not weeks of chasing.
Why it mattersThe evidence problem behind every R&D claim
The problem today
Defensible R&D tax claims depend on detailed technical narratives that only engineers can provide — but engineers don't have time to write them, and tax teams can't extract them. The result is thin evidence, endless back-and-forth email chasing, and claims exposed to challenge from tax authorities.
What AIRA does
AIRA runs a structured, adaptive chat interview with the person who actually did the work. It asks the right questions, probes for depth with intelligent follow-ups, and captures evidence mapped precisely to the qualifying criteria of each jurisdiction — automatically.
How it worksThree moving parts, one seamless experience
Configure once, per jurisdiction
Admins define the interview in plain English — sections, question limits, pass thresholds and a country-specific compliance lens (e.g. HMRC R&D / AIF for the UK). AIRA converts it into live AI prompts at runtime.
Respondent gets a guided chat
The engineer receives a secure, OTP-verified link and answers a natural conversation. AIRA adapts on the fly, asks clarifying follow-ups, and lets them move freely between sections — no forms, no jargon.
Evidence lands in the case record
Every answer is timestamped, threaded, and scored against qualifying criteria — feeding straight into the case file with a live completion and answer-quality metric for reviewers.
Built around the evidence that qualifiesSix milestones map directly to what tax authorities require
Each milestone anchors evidence to jurisdiction rules — but the respondent never sees framework names or tax terminology. They just answer questions about their work.
Why AIRA winsWhat sets it apart from forms and manual interviews
Adaptive, not a form
Intelligent follow-ups dig for the specific uncertainty and design reasoning that make a claim defensible — the depth a static questionnaire never reaches.
Jurisdiction-aware by design
One engine, many compliance lenses. Configure the criteria per country; AIRA enforces them silently in every question.
Minutes of the expert's time
No writing, no chasing. The person who did the work answers a chat once and the evidence is captured, scored and filed.
Audit-ready by construction
Timestamped threads, per-section coverage, and answer-quality scoring produce a traceable evidence record built to withstand scrutiny.
The depth it capturesA verbatim exchange from a real AIRA session
“When we tackled the inventory service, we used the dependency map to sequence its extraction after order intake but before billing… The contract tests caught two breaking changes before they hit production that would've otherwise caused silent failures.”
