This short YouTube presentation (by Wes Read, CPA, CFP®) explains the four criteria for claiming the U.S. R&D tax credit, with this chunk focusing on the 3rd and 4th tests: (3) activities must involve technical uncertainties about capability, methods, or design choices when developing or improving a business component; and (4) there must be evidence of a process of experimentation or testing used to resolve those uncertainties. The speaker frames the experimentation/process-of-testing as the key evidence reviewers look for when assessing R&D activities.
