Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 42 stories with headroom
What would move Deel’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
Evidence shows Deel exposes an MCP server so external AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, custom agents) can query contracts/payroll/time-off data, but this is the opposite direction: it lets outside assistants pull from Deel, not a built-in assistant delegated tasks inside Deel's own product UI.
Reporting accounting — stories about reporting accounting in this arenaSync payroll journal entries automatically to my accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Evidence covers Deel's global payroll processing, API/webhooks, sandbox, and MCP server, but there is no mention of a QuickBooks/Xero accounting sync or automated GL journal-entry export capability anywhere in the pack.
Payroll runs — stories about payroll runs in this arenaHave an agent run a payroll preview via the API and surface anomalies for review before I approve the run
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Evidence shows Deel's API/MCP exposes contracts, time-off, and EOR cost-comparison tools, and general marketing about running global payroll, but there is no documented payroll-run preview endpoint, no anomaly-detection capability, and no approval workflow surfaced via API/MCP.
Tax compliance — stories about tax compliance in this arenaHave federal, state, and local payroll taxes calculated, filed, and remitted automatically
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Missing: any documentation of US tax jurisdiction handling, filing cadence, remittance to tax authorities, or compliance guarantees specific to federal/state/local payroll taxes.
Payroll runs — stories about payroll runs in this arenaRun an off-cycle payroll for bonuses, corrections, or terminations outside the regular schedule
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
The evidence pack shows general global payroll processing capability (docs-11, docs-19, docs-24) but contains no mention of off-cycle payroll runs, bonus payments, correction runs, or termination-related payroll outside the regular schedule.
Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
The evidence pack contains no documentation, settings, or policy statements about opting out of AI model training on user data—only API/MCP integration docs and unrelated community complaints about data sharing for marketing.
Onboarding hiring — stories about onboarding hiring in this arenaSend a new hire a self-serve onboarding flow that collects W-4, I-9, and bank details before day one
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
The evidence pack covers Deel's API/MCP developer tools, payroll/contract endpoints, and community complaints, but contains no mention of a self-serve onboarding flow, W-4/I-9 collection, or bank detail setup for new hires.
Tax compliance — stories about tax compliance in this arenaHave W-2s and 1099s generated and distributed to workers automatically at year-end
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Evidence pack covers Deel's API, MCP server, sandbox, and general global payroll/EOR marketing claims, but contains no mention of W-2/1099 tax form generation or year-end distribution to workers.
