PayPal sandbox only. No real money moves.

For judges

Two paths, a rubric map, an evidence index and honest answers. Everything is PayPal sandbox only.

Page last changed 8 Nov 2026 (from the git history)

This section is written for someone who has to score GAVEL without running it. Every page links to the committed file or run behind each claim, and says plainly what is real, what is simulated and what is still open.

How to read a status

WordMeaning here
PASSA real PayPal sandbox run with committed evidence or a named run log.
FAILMeasured and below the limit. The fallback is in place.
IN PROGRESSA real run that has started and has no final result yet.
SIMULATEDOur code over a model of PayPal on a fake clock. It says nothing about PayPal itself.

When a page here and docs/GATES.md disagree, the gate record wins. The gate table above is generated from it when the site is built.
