Bring consistency to every capitalization cycle

Bring consistency to every capitalization cycle

Start with the structure you have

Set your capitalization rules and let Span apply them across teams and reporting periods, helping maintain a consistent methodology quarter after quarter.

Run structured approval cycles

Organize capitalization into defined cycles with approval steps so reported effort reflects reviewed work and aligns with how your organization manages reporting.

Generate audit-ready reporting

Review summarized capitalization results, inspect underlying activity, and export structured reports designed to support accounting and compliance workflows.

“We eliminated over 150 hours of work every quarter. What used to take days now takes 15–20 minutes. Span gives us confidence and made our EY audit straightforward.”

Give your advisor the work behind the spend

Automatically bring together research activity, engineering effort, and agent spend so your advisor can assess eligibility and prepare the claim with evidence in hand. No timesheets needed.

Support grant reviews with project records

Connect project activity and costs to the work being reviewed, helping finance and advisors assess grant treatment and prepare supporting documentation.

Capitalize eligible AI spend

Capitalize eligible AI spend

Allocate AI spend from actual work

Attribute token spend to projects using session data and the work each session produced, without timesheets or manual tagging.



Report spend in the format you need

Group token and labor spend by project, period and treatment, then export reports in the layout your close process or tax preparer uses.

Retain a full audit trail

Trace each allocation back to the sessions, commits and work items behind it, so you have evidence ready to support capitalization or an R&D credit claim.
