Use this with your team

  1. Draw the real sequence from one public service page to its receiving team or ordering system.
  2. Replace the example boundaries with the supported providers, field mappings and named owners in your setup.
  3. Use approved test fixtures to follow success, repeat and failure cases, then keep evidence with the handover.
