# Exercise Sandbox scenarios

> Load sample businesses, run deterministic cases, inspect generated records and test your integration without real charges.

Use **Dev Tools > Sandbox scenarios** to exercise known underwriting, monitoring and operational outcomes. Scenarios create test records you can inspect in the console and retrieve through the API.

## Prepare your workspace

At first use, choose sample businesses or an empty workspace. The choice is shared by everyone using that workspace. You can load the sample businesses later from the scenario tools; choosing empty does not prevent future testing.

The sample pack contains **six fictional businesses** with associated application, source, underwriting, monitoring and system records. See [businesses and scenarios](https://docs.amlok.io/sandbox/businesses-and-scenarios.md) for the fixtures and expected outcomes. An Owner loads the complete pack. Owners and Developers use the scenario tools; financial scenarios require an Owner. Analysts review the resulting product records.

## Run a case

**1. Select a scenario and business**

Open the **Scenarios** tab. Choose the category and scenario, then select a compatible fictional business. Read the expected result before running it.

**2. Review delivery options**

Keep event delivery as record-only unless you intend to test an eligible endpoint you control. The separate demo deployment does not send external webhooks.

**3. Run and wait for completion**

Select **Run scenario**. Follow its status and steps rather than assuming the initial accepted response means the run has finished.

**4. Inspect the generated records**

Open **Run history** and select the run. Inspect its outcome, step details and linked records. Follow the generated origination, monitoring event, request log or billing record into the corresponding console area.

Choose a predictable result, inspect what the case exercises and run it against a fictional business.

Use the **Developer guide** and available request examples to reproduce the workflow from your own integration. [Data Lookup](https://docs.amlok.io/console/data-lookup.md) explains the fields; the [API Sandbox journeys](https://docs.amlok.io/api-reference/sandbox-journeys.md) document the execution contract.

## Build a useful test sequence

| Case | What your application should handle |
| - | - |
| Within-policy underwriting | A completed result, risk dimensions and evidence. |
| Outside-policy or review-required result | A completed assessment whose recommendation needs different handling. |
| Missing information or disconnected source | An actionable condition without inventing missing values. |
| Monitoring change | Event ingestion, related evidence and downstream investigation. |
| Request or webhook failure | Error display, idempotency, retries and deduplication. |
| Funding and consumption | Simulated credits, debits, payment outcomes and reconciliation. |

## Repeat without confusing your records

A fresh run creates its own records and identifiers; it is not a workspace reset. Preserve run and record IDs when comparing results. Use filters to distinguish earlier runs from the current case.

Sandbox credits and payment records are simulated. There is no real charge, bank debit, refund or transfer. API authentication, validation and record inspection still give your developers a realistic integration workflow. See [simulated billing](https://docs.amlok.io/sandbox/simulated-billing.md) and [Sandbox versus Live](https://docs.amlok.io/console/environments.md).
