Higher is not better: most tax determination should stay at tier one, because deterministic logic is more defensible than a probabilistic answer.

What does the system propose, what does it decide, and what requires approval before it takes effect? This should be a design property, not a configuration option.<\/li><li>Regulatory currency. How quickly does a published change reach the model or the corpus? A grounded system is only as current as what it is grounded in.<\/li><li>Is there a record of what the system proposed, what a human did with it, and when? An auditor will ask how a position was reached, not only what it was.<\/li><li>Data handling. What customer data does the capability process, is it used to train external models, where is it processed and what is retained? Ask for this in writing.<\/li><li>Integration with the tax stack. Does the AI operate on the same data as determination, filing and reporting, or on an extract? An assistant reasoning over stale data produces confident wrong answers.<\/li><li>Which jurisdictions, tax types and document types does the capability actually cover, as opposed to the platform around it?<\/li><li>Evidence of production use. Is the capability running in production with customers, or demonstrated? This separates shipped products from roadmaps more reliably than any feature list.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee1554e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ee1554e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d26f940 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d26f940\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is not yet solved?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-964bde7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"964bde7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>An honest account of the limits, because the gap between demonstration and production is where most of this technology currently sits.<\/p><ul><li>Liability is unchanged. No AI system assumes responsibility for a tax position. The taxpayer remains liable regardless of how the position was produced, which is why human oversight is a requirement rather than a preference.<\/li><li>Regulatory reasoning is not solved. Models can retrieve and summarize regulatory text reliably. Reasoning from first principles to a defensible position in an ambiguous case is not reliable, and presenting it as such is the most common overstatement in this category.<\/li><li>Ambiguity is where the value is and where models are weakest. The cases that consume professional time are the ones with no clear answer, which are precisely the cases a probabilistic system handles least well.<\/li><li>Agentic execution is mostly roadmap. In its September 2026 assessment of compliant e-invoicing, IDC found no vendor had demonstrated AI far ahead of the field on customer evidence, and that much of the agentic narrative across the market remains forward-looking.<\/li><li>Evaluation is immature. There is no accepted benchmark for accuracy in tax AI, so vendor accuracy claims are self-reported and rarely comparable between vendors.<\/li><li>Data quality bounds everything. An AI applied to incomplete or inconsistent source data produces confident output from bad inputs, and the confidence is the dangerous part.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d94851 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div e-7d94851-3cddd8b \" data-id=\"7d94851\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"7d94851\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"7d94851\">\n    <div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7daf012 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div e-7daf012-1fd4764 \" data-id=\"7daf012\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"7daf012\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"7daf012\">\n    \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6be5362 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6be5362\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"capability\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What questions separate a real capability from a claim?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-514e8d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"514e8d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>What does it do when it is uncertain?
