## Test sequence

1. Start with the fictional case in Getting started. Check the seven-page estimate before processing.
2. Verify the five facts above and their citations.
3. Save a source-supported correction, reload the browser and confirm it persists. Browser reloads do not consume processing allowance.
4. Review the draft and complete only fictional physician-authored sections.
5. Download and inspect Word exports. Generated wording may differ from these fixed examples.

If processing fails, keep the case ID and error reference and contact support before repeated retries. A newly queued retry consumes pages and an attempt again.
