ai-native userPoint an agent at llms.txt or agent-oriented docs
weight 2 · round to PulleyThere's confirmed evidence Pulley serves a working llms.txt at help.pulley.com with structured links to help docs, directly supporting agent-oriented discovery of documentation.

ai-native userPlug MCP servers into this product so it can use their tools
weight 3 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management SaaS product, not an AI agent; the evidence shows no MCP client/server capability and none is expected for this product category.
ai-native userUse an official CLI
weight 2 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management SaaS product, not a developer tool or agent; an official CLI for AI-native workflows is not a fair axis for this kind of product, and no evidence suggests otherwise.
ai-native userIssue scoped/least-privilege API credentials for an agent
weight 2 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management SaaS product, not an AI agent or agent-facing developer platform; issuing scoped API credentials for agents is outside its product category entirely, and no evidence pack item indicates any API or credential system at all.
Ledgy supports OAuth 2.0 service accounts with credentials 'scoped per integration', short-lived tokens, immediate revocation, and a client_credentials grant flow, which are solid least-privilege primitives that could be used to provision an agent's credentials. However, there's no evidence of fine-grained scope/permission configuration (e.g., read-only vs write, specific data-domain scopes) or any agent-specific tooling/framing. Missing for 10: granular permission-scope controls beyond 'per integration', explicit agent-oriented credential issuance workflow, and independent corroboration of least-privilege enforcement.

- [claimed-docs] “Exchange the credentials for an access token using the OAuth 2.0 `client_credentials` grant”
- [claimed-docs] “Revoke deletes the service account and invalidates its outstanding access tokens right away.”

ai-native userSet up automations that run autonomously in the background
weight 2 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management platform, not an agentic or automation-oriented product; there is no concept in the evidence of autonomous background automations, and this axis is a category error for this type of product.
Ledgynone0/10Evidence shows Ledgy offers workflow automation for cap table/equity management (bulk granting, HRIS integrations) and an API with OAuth service accounts, but nothing describes autonomous background automations that a user or AI agent can set up and let run independently (e.g., scheduled jobs, triggers, webhooks). No mention of automation-builder, scheduling, or agentic execution.
- [claimed-docs] “Leverage the power of 70+ HRIS integrations to keep large volumes of data accurate.”
- [claimed-docs] “Automate your granting, document and signature workflows in bulk to make expansion easy.”
- [claimed-docs] “Automated error flags and crystal-clear visuals let you easily identify and resolve compliance risks.”
ai-native userDelegate tasks to a built-in AI assistant inside the product
weight 3 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management platform, not an AI assistant product; none of the evidence suggests any built-in AI assistant for task delegation, and this axis is a category error for this kind of product.
ai-native userTest against a sandbox environment without touching production data
weight 1 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management SaaS product, not an AI agent or developer platform with a sandbox/test environment concept for AI-native testing; this axis is a category error for this product type.
ai-native userDefine rules that trigger actions automatically on events
weight 3 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management platform, not an automation/rules engine; the evidence pack shows no notion of user-defined triggers or event-based actions, and this capability is outside its product category.
ai-native userSchedule recurring jobs or workflows
weight 2 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management platform, not a workflow automation or AI agent tool; scheduling recurring jobs/workflows is outside its product category.
Ledgynone0/10No evidence of scheduling, cron-like recurring jobs, or workflow automation triggers in Ledgy's API or product docs; the pack only covers auth, cap table, and reporting features. missing for 10: any scheduling/recurring job mechanism, workflow trigger API, or automation orchestration capability.
ai-native userVersion, review, and roll back my automations
weight 1 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management platform, not an automation/workflow tool with version control, review, or rollback of 'automations' — this axis is a category error for this product type.
ai-native userRead the product's source under an open license
weight 2 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a closed SaaS cap table management platform, not open-source software; source code availability under an open license is not a fair axis for this product category.
ai-native userSelf-host the core product
weight 3 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cloud-based cap table management SaaS with no self-hosted deployment option; self-hosting the core product is not a fair axis for this category of managed financial/compliance SaaS.
ai-native userPrevent my data from being used to train AI models
weight 3 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management platform, not an AI model or AI product feature; opting out of AI training data usage is not a relevant axis for this kind of product based on the evidence pack, which covers cap tables, fundraising, and compliance only.
Ledgynone0/10Ledgy's evidence pack covers API authentication, cap table, equity plan, compliance, and trading features, but contains no mention of AI training data usage, opt-out controls, or data-use policies for AI models. This is a fair question for a SaaS platform handling sensitive company data, so absence of evidence yields 'none' rather than 'na'. Missing for 10: any policy statement, opt-out mechanism, or documentation addressing whether customer data is used for AI/ML model training.
ai-native userOpt out of telemetry and usage tracking
weight 2 · not comparablePulleyn/aPulley is a cap table/equity management SaaS, not an AI agent or developer tool where telemetry opt-out for AI-native usage is a relevant axis; the evidence pack contains nothing about telemetry or AI usage tracking.
