Embedded systems / IoT - R&D Tax Benchmark

What drives R&D intensity in this sector

Sector disclaimer
Embedded product companies sit similarly to hardware; integration with existing modules without uncertainty is not core R&D.
ATO & AusIndustry context
Use of off-the-shelf SDKs without modification rarely qualifies.
