Surface at-risk R&D tax credit engagements before they go delinquent

Every Monday, WebRun opens Neo.Tax and scans all active client engagements for stall signals: missing data connections, document submissions overdue by 14 or more days, and studies that have not advanced a stage in 21 or more days. It scores each at-risk engagement by severity, logs the worklist in Google Sheets, and posts a ranked risk digest to Slack so managers can intervene before an engagement goes delinquent.

In short

How do I automatically identify R&D tax credit engagements at risk of going delinquent?

Every Monday, WebRun scans all active Neo.Tax engagements for stall signals: missing data connections, overdue document submissions, and studies with no stage progress in 21 or more days. Each at-risk engagement is scored and logged in a ranked Google Sheets worklist, with a Slack digest sent to managers so they can intervene before a client or deadline is jeopardized.

  • At-risk engagements are surfaced weekly before they miss a filing deadline or lose a client
  • Managers see a ranked risk list in Slack without manually auditing Neo.Tax
  • Stall signals are caught at 14 to 21 days, not after a deadline has passed

Questions, answered

Does it contact clients or change anything in Neo.Tax?

No. WebRun only reads Neo.Tax to identify risk signals and posts the worklist internally. Any client outreach or Neo.Tax updates are made by your team based on the worklist.

What counts as a stall signal?

Three signals are checked: missing data connections (payroll, Jira, or accounting not linked), document submissions overdue by 14 or more days, and studies with no stage advancement in 21 or more days. Any combination scores the engagement as at risk.

Can the thresholds be adjusted?

Yes. The 14-day and 21-day thresholds are configurable in the workflow settings so you can tighten or loosen the risk window to match your firm's engagement standards.
