Sorry for that. We try to smuggle words to your side of the ocean. Like ship them through canada to avoid tariff and laws on wording immigration and prison for language contamination. But americanise the spelling because we try to convince ourself that we still love your great continent two (for now) countries continent.
To numerize means turning things into numbers. Maybe we can use “digitalise” but machines don’t have fingers in this side of the world so using “digit” is weird weird.
I know what 'numerize' means in general, it just didn't make sense to me in that sentence. I suppose I would have been less confused about 'digitalize'/'digitalise' ...
