- pclmulqdq 3y agoI (shamefully) have an MBA, and I learned a lot about accounting during that process. Whether basic research ought to be operationalized or capitalized when looking at company valuation was actually a bit of a point of debate, but both sides have strong arguments. What definitely shouldn't be capitalized is "new feature for my existing software" which pretty clearly is capitalized under the current rules.
