# v0.3.17 — five readers walked the whole store, and four stopped in the same place

The previous panel ended by naming what it could not do: a panel is a weaker
instrument than a journey. This is the journey. The same five readers, written on
15 September and carried across unchanged, each walked ten screens in the order a
buyer meets them, at 1280 and at 390.

**Four of the five reached the checkout and stopped.** Not because the page is
unclear — three of them called the disabled button the most honest thing on the
site — but because there is nothing on that page to do next. No address, no way
to be told when the till opens. That is the true state of the till and not a flaw
in the drawing of it, and it is the only finding here that costs a buyer
something today.

Five of the six findings carry a measurement, which is the only defence this
instrument has. The evidence band begins 3,098 pixels down a 4,395-pixel front
page, and 6,677 of 9,406 on a phone. The picker's filter bar is 521 pixels tall
with eighteen chips, and the first of the fifteen policy shapes starts at 1,220
pixels on an 844-pixel viewport.

Three new units on the board and one unblocked. The walkthrough was repointed at
the archive it now drives and caught a real defect on the way: the previous
design's checkout was sending buyers to /order/, which the swap had removed.

This run has no vault. The two before it are published as encrypted vaults;
pushing to one needs its write key on a command line and that was refused here.
The page says so where the vault would have been.
