Coming later: verify dates, availability, total price and policies. Agents stop before a booking starts.

For hotels, travel platforms, appointments, events and rentals.

## Test the constraints that make a booking valid.

Scenarios combine dates, party size, inventory, fees, policy and locale instead of testing controls in isolation.

- **Search:** Search by destination or service, dates and party size.
- **Interpret inventory:** Distinguish sold out, unavailable and temporarily failed states.
- **Compare totals:** Compare final price, fees, cancellation rules and timezone.
- **Select:** Choose a valid room, rate, seat or appointment slot.
- **Stop before booking:** Keep the selection up to the point where booking would start, then stop.
- **Recover:** Handle an expired slot, session or inventory change without silent substitution.

## Keep dates, inventory and policy attached to one choice.

The assertion chain prevents a plausible result from hiding a changed rate or slot.

1. **Valid search.** Destination, date format, timezone and party size are interpreted correctly.
2. **Comparable option.** Availability, total price and cancellation terms remain attached to the selected option.
3. **Stop point.** The chosen option is unchanged where booking would start, and the run stops there.

## Booking failures often appear only after several correct steps.

- **Hidden fee:** The result changes when fees appear late in the journey.
- **Timezone ambiguity:** A slot looks valid but resolves to the wrong local time.
- **Inaccessible calendar:** Custom date controls have no usable keyboard or accessibility-tree path.
- **Lost selection:** Session expiry or a modal destroys dates, party size or chosen inventory.

## A fast result must also be current and recoverable.

Timing is evaluated beside inventory accuracy, retries and final-state preservation.

- **Step screenshots:** Follow search, comparison and the final check step by step, with masked screenshots.
- **Completion time:** See how long search, results and each page step took.
- **Layout shifts:** Measure layout shifts on calendars, rate cards and result pages.
- **State preservation:** Assert that dates, guests, option and policy survive each transition.

## Public runs stop before a real booking or payment.

AI agents stop before booking, payment or any form that sends data. Modification and cancellation tests with approved staging fixtures are coming later.

## The audit covers dynamic inventory as well as page structure.

Signals are recorded for diagnosis even when they do not change the verdict.

- Event, Hotel, LodgingBusiness and Offer structured data
- Date, time, timezone and locale semantics
- Calendar and modal accessibility
- Inventory APIs, caching and session persistence
- Network behavior and layout shifts during task runs
- Declared WebMCP forms when present: detected, not run

## The result explains where booking intent was lost.

- Journey and inventory assertions
- Step screenshots with step timings
- Price, fee, policy and timezone discrepancies
- Recovery findings with reproduction steps
- Prioritized engineering backlog and retest baseline

## Booking audit questions

**Q: Do public tests create real bookings?**

A: No. The run stops before the final booking or payment action.

**Q: Can cancellation be tested?**

A: Coming later, with an approved staging site and test bookings.

**Q: How are changing prices handled?**

A: The run records timestamps, inputs and observed states so expected inventory movement is distinct from inconsistency.

## Model booking state before running an agent.

Use the booking task, timezone, inventory, policy, expiry and stop-gate contracts to build a repeatable scenario.

## Protect the path from search to booking review.

Apply with one high-value search, comparison or appointment workflow for a private review.
