Just building some software generally doesn't qualify, and they've had years of firms sending in R&D claims for their CRUD app that they've gotten incredibly dubious.

If you're legitimately doing bonafide R&D -- like a team doing serious AI work, etc -- it's glorious, but it is a false hope for a lot of copy/paste type shops.
