The problem
One customer's tax treatment spans three screens
Answering a question about one customer's tax treatment means opening the customer, their transactions and their exemption certificates on separate Avalara AvaTax screens. Gaps like a missing certificate are easy to miss.
Without PopdockAI
- Find the customer in AvaTax
- Open their transactions
- Open their exemption certificates
- Miss exempt sales with no certificate
With PopdockAI
- The customer is found, and it stops if the match is ambiguous
- Transactions and exemptions are summarised
- Missing taxpayer IDs and uncertified exempt sales are listed
- Certificate matches are labelled as inferences

**Objective:** Build a tax profile of the AvaTax customer matching `{customer}` (a customer code or part of the name), for `{company}` if given.
**Step 1: Find the customer**
Call `avalara-avatax-get-customer` with `customer-code` = `{customer}`. If nothing matches, call it again with `name.contains` = `{customer}`. If more than one customer matches, list them (customer-code, name, city, region) and stop.
**Step 2: Read recent transactions**
Call `avalara-avatax-get-transaction` with `customer-code` set to the chosen customer code (and `company`). Summarise count, total-amount, total-tax, total-exempt, and the latest `date` and `status` values.
**Step 3: Read certificates**
Call `avalara-avatax-get-certificate` (with `company`). Certificates are not filterable by customer, so match on the customer's region, country and exposure-zone-name only as a hint and say it is an inference.
**Step 4: Report**
Give the customer details (code, name, address, taxpayer-id-number present or not, last-transaction), the transaction summary, exempt versus taxed share, and a list of concerns: no taxpayer ID, no recent activity, exempt sales with no matching certificate, uncommitted transactions.
**Validation:**
* If no customer matches, say so and stop.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. Call only the `avalara-avatax-get-*` tools named above. Never call any avalara-avatax tool that adds, updates, deletes, commits, uncommits, voids, unvoids, adjusts, refunds, locks, settles or creates anything.
* Report what the data shows. Do not guess values the tools did not return, and say so when a field came back empty.
* Use `max-records` to keep each read small, and say when a result may be truncated by it.Who it's for
