# Independent Build Verdict **Overall status: NOT READY** The builder reports the application as complete, but the available evidence proves only part of the core workflow. Authentication, dashboard rendering and data storage are verified. Payment configuration exists but no successful end-to-end purchase and entitlement flow has been demonstrated. Automated email delivery is reported but not independently verified. ## Verification Summary - VERIFIED: 8 - PARTIALLY VERIFIED: 3 - REPORTED: 4 - NOT VERIFIED: 2 - FAILED: 1 - BLOCKED: 0 ## Key Verification Matrix | Requirement | Builder Claim | Evidence | Status | |---|---|---|---| | User signup | Complete | Successful runtime test | VERIFIED | | Dashboard | Complete | Browser evidence | VERIFIED | | Paid checkout | Complete | Configuration only | REPORTED | | Purchase unlocks account | Complete | No end-to-end evidence | NOT VERIFIED | | Welcome email | Working | Template exists | REPORTED | | Password reset | Working | Runtime test failed | FAILED | ## Things That Look Finished But Are Not Yet Proven 1. Payment integration exists, but configuration is not proof of a successful transaction. 2. The welcome-email template exists, but no evidence shows that a real trigger sends it. 3. Subscription entitlement logic exists in code, but no successful purchase-to-access test was supplied. ## Release Blocker **P0 — Purchase → payment confirmation → account entitlement has not been verified end-to-end.** ## Recommended Next Action Run one controlled test purchase in the intended environment and capture evidence showing: checkout → successful payment → verified callback → entitlement update → paid feature access. Do not rebuild the payment system until this test establishes where, if anywhere, the flow actually breaks.
