Fictional worked comparison

Two suppliers share the same scope, currency and delivery window. A starts at USD100 and has complete cost130, selling price182 before client tax, illustrative client tax18.20 and total200.20. B starts at USD90 but additional costs raise complete cost to140, selling price196, illustrative client tax19.60 and total215.60. The existing calculator independently produces every value. Markup is40%, not40% gross margin. The assumed10% client tax is educational, not a jurisdiction-specific recommendation.

All nine authorization declarations stay unchecked in the example. This content cannot place an order, reserve a technician, commit funds or authorize dispatch. Actual supplier availability, qualifications, validity, warranty and cancellation must be checked independently; written client confirmation, applicable PO and separate Zion authorization remain required.

Each comparison has matching-language links to the calculator, review checklist, field evidence guide and responsible pilot guide. Existing five-language selectors, canonical/alternate tags, previous supplier/pilot promotions and calculator scripts are preserved. Original report forms, recipients, pricing policy, approval gates and checkout paths are untouched. The workflow retains all original steps, permissions, concurrency and deployment actions; it adds one path trigger plus render/test and GET-only live steps.

Verification and limitations

• Before editing:31 fresh route/asset fixtures passed existing supplier-pilot exact-block and arithmetic contracts;20 existing page fixtures and43 negative cases passed.
• Candidate:15 page fixtures and31 new negative cases passed, including missing-route fail-before-write and repeat-render idempotence. Removing the owned comparison blocks restored original bytes on all15 affected surfaces.
• After publication:15 HTML routes and the exact manifest passed independent fresh GET checks at19:45:03 UTC;31 existing supplier-pilot routes/assets passed again at19:45:08 UTC. Existing pilot primary bodies remain unchanged.
• Native Chromium:30 live page/viewport cases across calculators, guides and homepages at actual390px and1280px widths passed. All10 comparison tables per viewport set retained captions,3 column headers,9 row headers and focusable horizontal scrolling. New section bounds remained inside each viewport. This is a scoped section-layout claim, not an all-homepage accessibility audit.
• All5 calculator locales passed live local example/download/stale-export/two-supplier/owner-review/invalid-input checks at390×844. Downloads matched displayed reports; no script errors or outbound submissions were observed. A second30-case post-publication browser pass separately confirmed5 downloads/stale-export/error checks alongside the new tables.
• The cloud-browser task’s older NOT_FOUND/partial-language summary is historical, not release evidence; the exact live checks and native Chromium records above supersede it.

Next gates

Preserve this and all earlier releases. Native-speaker editorial review, screen-reader/safari coverage, whole-network route/body/interlink inventory, independently hosted app functionality and paired current Discovery inbox receipt remain unfinished. Reconcile this release into the single coverage authority without erasing history. Do not recreate existing translated Workbench pages or earlier supplier guides. No email, real form, payment, supplier order or dispatch occurred.
