# Digital tax consultant

**Decision:** Insurance - Tax and Audit.   **Pattern:** Guided conversation

**Use case:** This tool runs an R\&D tax credit assessment as a digital consultation, benchmarking a company's claim against similar businesses by size and industry, and returning a risk-profiled priority score with the reasoning behind it. Find out more in our [case study](https://rainbird.ai/case-study/rd-tax-credit-decisioning).

**End-user:** Tax specialist, guiding a client through the assessment

**The decision:** How a company's R\&D claim should be prioritised and risk-profiled, based on the specifics of the claim and how it compares to similar claimants by company size and industry.

**The knowledge graph:** Encodes the expertise needed to assess R\&D claims across different industries and company sizes, including how to weigh a claim's benefits, risks and opportunities against a wider claimant population.

**Integration:** A custom application holds the digital consultation with the end-user, asking only the questions Rainbird needs to complete its assessment. Once enough information is gathered, Rainbird returns a priority rating score with the reasoning behind it, benchmarked against similar claimants.

**Evidence:** Every result returns the reasoning behind the priority rating and how the claim compares to similar businesses, so the tax specialist can walk the client through the outcome and agree next steps together.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.rainbird.ai/rainbird/getting-started/use-cases/digital-tax-consultant.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
