Turn your Bitbucket history into R&D tax credit evidence
Claimship reads the pull requests, commits, and review comments in your Bitbucket workspaces and turns them into documented evidence for the IRS four-part test.
What Claimship reads from Bitbucket
Claimship connects to the Bitbucket workspaces and repos you choose to share. It reads pull request titles and descriptions, commit history, and the diffs attached to each change.
It also reads the comments left during code review: requested changes, rejected approaches, and the discussion that shaped the final merge. That back and forth is often the clearest record of trial and error on your team.
Claimship groups commits and pull requests by time period and maps them to the repos they belong to, so each unit of work ties back to the tax year it happened in.
The evidence it extracts
Pull request descriptions document the uncertainty
The write-up an engineer adds to a Bitbucket pull request explains the approach and the alternatives considered, which supports the four-part test.
Commit history builds the technical timeline
Commit messages and timestamps map engineering work to specific projects and weeks inside the tax year.
Code review comments show the testing process
Back and forth in review, including requested changes and rejected approaches, documents the trial and error the IRS looks for.
