Field notes
The flow separates prewritten software and SaaS from custom builds, infrastructure, and several excluded digital-product categories. It then asks about California nexus and receipts, including a $500,000 threshold and a $5 million carve-out. The page says the decision flow runs locally in the browser; it also calls some AI offerings borderline while awaiting further guidance.
