See what an agent can do with Numeral before you ever sign up. Pick a story: recorded sessions replay real probe-harness transcripts; commands tagged live-capable can re-run against the real endpoint from our edge, right now (▶ run live — the exact same request, live and recorded lines always labeled); the live MCP handshake runs real requests from our edge, right now — including, where the server allows it, one real read-only tool call (bring your own key for auth-gated servers); sandboxed self-drive sessions are designed and gated (docs/TRY-IT.md).

Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 44 stories with headroom
What would move Numeral’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
Numeral exposes an MCP server so external AI agents (e.g., Claude) can query its tax data, and offers Claude skills for coding agents integrating its API — but this is exposing Numeral as a tool for outside agents, not a built-in AI assistant living inside Numeral's own product UI that a user delegates tasks to.
Automation depth — how much of the product can run unattendedDefine rules that trigger actions automatically on events
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Evidence shows built-in system behaviors (nexus threshold triggering, certificate expiration tracking, automatic validation) but no capability for an AI-native user to author custom rules that trigger arbitrary actions on events — no rules engine, webhook/trigger configuration, or conditional automation framework is documented.
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 any data export feature or open-format data portability for user data (transactions, filings, certificates, etc.); evidence covers API usage, MCP tools, and integrations but nothing about exporting/leaving with data.
Product taxability — stories about product taxability in this arenaThe product gets the hard cases right — SaaS taxability that differs by state, digital-goods rules, and bundled offerings — with the research behind each determination visible
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
Evidence shows only generic tax calculation via address+product lookup (numeral-docs-1) and certificate/nexus tracking, but nothing about SaaS-specific state-by-state taxability nuances, digital-goods rules, bundled-offering treatment, or visible research/rationale behind determinations.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productUse an official CLI
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
Evidence covers a REST API, MCP server, and Claude skills, but no official CLI tool is mentioned anywhere in the docs or probes.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productIssue scoped/least-privilege API credentials for an agent
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
Missing: any mention of API key scopes, role-based permissions, or agent-specific credential issuance.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productSubscribe to events via webhooks
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
Evidence covers MCP server, REST API objects, and integrations, but there is no mention of webhooks or event subscriptions anywhere in the docs pack.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productExplore an interactive API reference with runnable examples
nonemoves API qualityimpact 30
Docs describe API endpoints and objects (products, transactions, certificates) but there is no evidence of an interactive reference with runnable/try-it examples; the openapi probe found no spec at standard locations, suggesting no Swagger/Postman-style interactive console.
