However, there is no explicit CI/CD documentation, no service-to-service (client-credentials) auth flow described, and OAuth authorization-code grant typically requires an initial interactive login step, so pure unattended CI automation isn't directly documented.

Audit trail

1. accountantSee a complete audit trail of who changed what and when across the entire ledger

   weight 3 · round drawn
   QuickBooks Online—none0/10

   The axis clearly applies to accounting software, but no evidence item mentions an audit trail, activity log, or change-history feature — closest matches (custom roles/permissions, backup & restore) address access control and data recovery, not a record of who changed what and when. Missing for 10: any documentation of an Audit Log/Audit Trail report, user-action history, or field-level change tracking across the ledger.

   ⚑ flag

   Digits—none0/10

   No evidence exists of a change-log, version history, or 'who changed what and when' audit trail feature across the ledger; the pack covers categorization, APIs, MCP, security-at-rest, and pricing but nothing about audit trails or user-action logging.

   No evidence pack item mentions multi-entity management, inter-company eliminations, or consolidated financial reporting across separate legal entities; QuickBooks Online appears architected as single-company-per-subscription (Advanced tier only mentions up to 25 users, not multi-entity consolidation).

   QuickBooks Online~partialprobed6/10

   Intuit's official API/SDKs and the official QuickBooks Online MCP server (145 tools, full CRUD for 29 entity types, 11 financial reports) show broad, deliberate API coverage of core accounting objects, and sandbox/production + write-safety toggles indicate agent-friendly design (quickbooks-gh-3, quickbooks-gh-4, quickbooks-gh-6, quickbooks-supp-mcp-sandbox). However, there's no evidence that UI-specific features like GPS mileage capture, invoice template customization, bank-feed matching UX, or the Intuit Intelligence chat assistant itself are exposed via the API, and OpenAPI/llms.txt discovery probes 404'd, suggesting incomplete self-describing API docs. Missing for 10: confirmation that non-core UI features (mileage, invoice branding, AI chat actions) are API-reachable, and a first-party OpenAPI spec or llms.txt for full discoverability.

   The Connect API exposes substantial read/write ledger functionality (financial statements, chart of accounts, bills workflow with submit/approve/pay, batch transaction sync, webhooks) matching much of the UI's bookkeeping/reporting features, and the MCP server extends programmatic access to AI tools. However, the MCP server is explicitly read-only, and several UI-surfaced features (Ask Digits AI assistant, Invoicing, Bill Pay drag-and-drop UI, Dashboards customization, mobile app features) have no documented API/MCP equivalent for full parity — missing for 10: write access via MCP, API coverage for Ask Digits conversational tasks, invoicing endpoints, dashboard customization API, and independent confirmation that all UI actions map to API calls.
