On March 3, 2026, the Bescheinigungsstelle Forschungszulage (BSFZ) recognized our research work on leo.live as an eligible R&D project under Germany's Research Allowance Act (Forschungszulagengesetz, FZulG).

The Forschungszulage is a tax-based research incentive — not an investment, but retroactive recognition of development work already completed. For leopard.ki, this specifically covers the ongoing development of AI-driven demand analysis: how visitor questions are detected, categorized, and evaluated.

The certification is active through December 2027 and covers a six-figure amount.
