The work spanned multiple disciplines and required close collaboration with both scientific and finance teams to bring structure and clarity to a complex process.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>The Approach<\/h4>\n<p>Catalyst Solution&#8217;s technical team worked closely with Hurdle&#8217;s internal experts to map the full scope of their R&amp;D activity, identifying <strong>five qualifying projects across three scientific fields.<\/strong> From there, Catalyst worked alongside the finance team to structure the claim in a way that maximised benefit while keeping risk tightly managed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>The Outcome<\/h4>\n<p>Hurdle came into the engagement expecting qualifying R&amp;D expenditure of around \u00a31 million. The detailed technical review told a different story.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a37m+ in qualifying R&amp;D expenditure identified across three scientific fields.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This resulted
