§ 01   About

Innovation, fundable and defensible.

Sivanta Solutions helps Canadian businesses translate technical work into structured, fundable, and CRA-defensible R&D claims. The practice serves companies in life sciences, natural health products, food technology, chemistry, manufacturing, and engineering, wherever real technological uncertainty meets real R&D spending.

The work bridges science, funding strategy, and execution. From SR&ED claim preparation to broader innovation funding positioning, Sivanta delivers technical narratives that match the underlying R&D, financial allocations that hold up under review, and audit support when CRA looks closely.

The practice supports an active portfolio of SR&ED files across manufacturing, life sciences, cannabis, natural health products, food, software, and engineering, with broader innovation funding advisory covering NRC-IRAP, Mitacs, NSERC, and CanExport.

What we do.

End-to-end SR&ED claim preparation, financial allocations, audit defence, and broader innovation funding strategy for science-led Canadian companies.

01
SR&ED Claim Preparation
Eligibility assessment, technical scoping, client interviews, and T661 technical narratives for Lines 242, 244, and 246, written to CRA-defensible standard.
02
Financial Allocations
Evidence-backed allocation of labour, materials, and contractor costs, with clear documentation methodology and audit-ready logic.
03
Audit & CRA Review Support
Defence of strong claims under CRA technical and financial review, including drafted responses and supporting evidence packages.
04
R&D Program Documentation
Design of internal R&D documentation systems so SR&ED claims are easier to prepare, more defensible, and audit-ready by default.
05
Innovation Funding Strategy
Advisory on the broader innovation funding landscape, including positioning for IRAP and Canadian grant programs where eligible.
06
Science-Led Sectors
For natural health, cosmetic, biotech, pharma, and chemistry-driven clients, additional support on formulation documentation, QA records, and regulatory-adjacent technical writing.
§ 02   Practice

A specialist team for every file.

Sivanta delivers SR&ED engagements through a project-team model. Each file is matched to the right combination of disciplines, with senior consultant oversight on every claim.

The Sivanta team brings combined experience across mechanical, chemical, and process engineering, software development, life sciences, and natural product chemistry. Methodology, narrative architecture, financial allocation, and CRA defence are coordinated end-to-end. Specialist collaborators contribute deep technical interviews and discipline-specific writing where the file demands it.

§ 03   Why Sivanta

Science-led from scoping to defence.

Sivanta combines senior scientific expertise with R&D leadership experience from inside industry, in regulated environments, on real problems with real budgets.

That background shows up in the work. Scoping is sharper. Narratives read as actual scientific work, not boilerplate. And when CRA reviews a claim closely, the position holds.
