🧪 Verifiable Test Script (Human Review Flow)

Follow these steps in the running Business M instance to replicate the live PoC demonstration (mapped directly from end-to-end test automation):

1. Access MRU market survey: entry in PreScreening
2. Fill retail market survey: prices in PriceReviewChart
3. Upload factory inspection report: and CFL test certificate
4. Compute manufacturer discount parity: in PricingCommitteeChart
5. Ingest customer quality complaint: via grievance module
6. Flag batch for re-testing: trigger provisional sales suspension
7. Review lab re-test result: and execute de-listing recommendation if substandard
8. Verify price review records: are archived
