Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 36 stories with headroom
What would move Adyen In-Person Payments’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productDelegate tasks to a built-in AI assistant inside the product
nonemoves Built-in AIimpact 45
Adyen's evidence only shows an MCP server that lets external LLM clients connect to Adyen's platform via natural language (docs-13, docs-20, probe-4) — this is the reverse of a built-in assistant embedded in the product for task delegation.
Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesExport all of my data in open formats and leave
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
No evidence of a data export feature or open-format data portability for merchants leaving Adyen; documentation covers APIs, terminals, tipping, refunds, MCP server, but nothing about exporting transaction/customer data in open formats or account offboarding processes.
Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
No evidence in the pack addresses AI training data usage or opt-out controls for Adyen In-Person Payments; the documentation focuses on POS integration, payments, and an MCP server, not AI model training data policies.

nonemoves Built-in AIimpact 30
Evidence covers payment terminal integration, refunds, tipping, offline payments, and an MCP server for developers to build with natural language—but nothing shows AI-generated insights or suggestions surfaced from merchant transaction/sales data inside the product itself.

Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productIssue scoped/least-privilege API credentials for an agent
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
No evidence of scoped/least-privilege API credential issuance for agents; docs mention general API keys, Customer Area management, and an MCP server for natural-language access, but nothing about granular/scoped credential minting or per-agent permission scoping.

Missing: explicit official SDK libraries, SDK docs/quickstarts, and any AI-native SDK tooling beyond the separate MCP server.
