## How we test this category

In this run, public evidence against the published checklist. When the task suites run, one table or appointment searched, booked, changed and cancelled through each listing's API or sandbox. We check availability fields, the booking and deposit steps, change and cancellation rules, and what access took. This test hasn't run yet, so Task success is pending and the grades here come from the categories assessed from public evidence.
