Why this exists
Not a lead-gen funnel dressed up as advice.
Josh, Byron, and Mike all went through UCLA before starting Staxiom — this is genuinely the list we'd have wanted handed to us back then, instead of figuring each item out the hard way, one deadline at a time. One of us also ran Ernst & Young's West Coast R&D Tax Credit practice for thirteen years, so the same eye that catches this stuff for our own clients built the order these steps are in.
