SRED for agencies
SRED for Marketing Agencies
You run a 15-person digital agency. Somewhere between the client work, your team built a reporting platform because nothing on the market could merge the data your clients demand. Two developers spent four months on it. It failed twice before it worked.
In CRA's language, that's experimental development. In your P&L, it's up to 40¢ back on every eligible dollar.
Who this is for
Creative, digital, media, PR, and performance agencies
Typically 5–75 staff. If your team has builders - developers, data people, automation engineers - and they've shipped anything custom, you're in the conversation.

Objection
“We're not a tech company.”
Neither were we - on paper. SRED doesn't care what your business card says. It cares whether your team faced technological uncertainty and systematically investigated solutions. Agencies do that constantly when they build internal platforms and custom client systems.
The industry pattern-matches “marketing → no.” We look at the repos.
Agency chaos
Your devs don't have time. We need 4–6 hours.
We schedule short technical interviews, pull payroll and contractor data, and write the narrative ourselves. You stay in client delivery. We handle the claim.
