How to Use This Demo

The ecosystem is gated — sign in as the universal owner (admin / admin@123) or the read-only viewer; an unauthorized visitor sees only the sign-in card. Open Payments & Partner Settlements from the launcher; it mounts in the operator console. The queue lists settlements by partner and period; filter by status (draft, pending approval, approved, paid, on hold).

Open a settlement to see the breakdown: gross, commission percent and amount, the 18% GST on commission, the net payout, and the booking count. The owner can Approve — moving it to paid, releasing a simulated payout, and sending a confirmation — or Hold it (for example pending a risk review). Both actions are owner-only and audited; a viewer sees the queue read-only. There is no metered AI stage here, so the inspector shows the event and audit flow rather than a cost meter.
