Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 43 stories with headroom

What would move Capacities’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.

  1. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productPlug MCP servers into this product so it can use their tools

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 45

    Evidence consistently shows Capacities exposes itself AS an MCP server (and its own chat-connector/API) so external AI clients (ChatGPT, Claude, custom agents) can connect TO Capacities — the reverse of this story, which asks whether Capacities can consume external MCP servers to use their tools.

  2. Automation depth — how much of the product can run unattendedDefine rules that trigger actions automatically on events

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    Capacities offers an API, MCP server, and AI assistant features, but no evidence of a rules/trigger engine (event-based automation like 'when X happens, do Y') exists in the docs pack—only manual actions, scheduled exports, and AI-assisted fill-in features are documented.

  3. Plugins extensibility — stories about plugins extensibility in this arenaBrowse and install from a large catalog of community plugins/extensions to add features the core app doesn't ship

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    The axis applies to this product kind (peer products hold positive or none verdicts on this story), so lack of evidence for an applicable capability is "none", never "na".

  4. Sync collaboration — stories about sync collaboration in this arenaAn official sync service keeps my notes updated across all my devices with end-to-end encryption the vendor can't read

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    There is evidence of offline-first sync ('changes get synchronized as soon as you're back online') but no mention anywhere of end-to-end encryption of sync data or a vendor-can't-read architecture; encryption claims are absent from docs, pricing, or community sources.

  5. Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesSelf-host the core product

    nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30

    The axis applies to this product kind (peer products hold positive or none verdicts on this story), so lack of evidence for an applicable capability is "none", never "na".

  6. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productSet up automations that run autonomously in the background

    nonemoves Built-in AIimpact 30

    Evidence shows only a scheduled full-export feature and API/MCP integration points for external clients, but nothing indicating autonomous, self-triggering background automations (e.g., workflows/triggers acting on data changes) running inside Capacities.

  7. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productUse an official CLI

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    The axis applies to this product kind (peer products hold positive or none verdicts on this story), so lack of evidence for an applicable capability is "none", never "na".

  8. Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productSubscribe to events via webhooks

    nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30

    Evidence shows Capacities has a REST API and MCP server for pull-based access, but no documentation or probe indicates any webhook subscription mechanism for event notifications.

Showing the top 8 of 43 — every none/partial verdict in the story verdicts table is headroom.
