In computer software the advance is rarely implicit in the product. The advance comes not from the application layer, but from the technology layer. It is the science of technology that had to be advanced in order to develop the application that establishes eligibility as R&D.
R&D takes place within a computer software project that seeks to achieve an advance in computer science or information technology. An advance in computer science or information technology means an advance in overall knowledge or capacity in computer science or information technology. It is not an advance in a company's own state of knowledge or capability alone, except where the details of the advance are not available to the company due to proprietary considerations.
Usually an advance in a computer software project involves the search for new software constructs or new architecture techniques.

It’s been eye opening as well because it really made us look at how we go about looking at grants in a very different way, understanding that it is a team effort to get these things written and that sometimes you do need to reach out and get that expertise externally
