The conversation explains how to qualify under the IRS\u2019s four-part test, what types of cloud service and personnel costs are eligible, and what exclusions or high-risk activities may disqualify claims. The discussion highlights Internal Use Software guidelines, measurable improvements, and technical uncertainty as key concepts, while also reviewing how early-stage biotech firms can offset payroll tax liability in pre-revenue years. The Leyton team outlines the initial assessment process and shares how PTP and Leyton collaborate to maximize financial benefit while ensuring compliance through comprehensive technical documentation.
