A close you can live with
Four conditions about finishing. The last of them depends on a card three stages earlier, which turns the map into a loop rather than a line.
Stage H is about ending an order in a way you can live with, and about still being the same person to the market the next time you arrive. It is the last stage on the map and it contains the only card that reaches backwards far enough to make the graph a loop.
The stage runs on sequence rather than on effort. Almost everything that goes wrong here is an ordering problem: value released before a problem was noticed, a complaint written before it could be stated clearly, a verdict published before the outcome was known. None of those are failures of care. They are failures of order, and order is exactly what a dependency map is for.
What enters this stage
Four arrows arrive. The simultaneity card and the waiting condition both feed escrow still holding. The listing condition reaches two stages forward to feed describing a problem. The reception condition feeds feedback after the outcome.
What leaves this stage
Nothing leaves the map, because there is nothing after stage H. But two arrows arrive at the final card from a long way back: the address storage condition in stage C and the recovery phrase condition in stage D. That is the loop. If either of those was false, coming back tomorrow fails, and the next session starts again from stage C with nothing carried over.
Why the map closes rather than ends
| If this was false in an earlier stage | What you notice in stage H |
|---|---|
| The address was only ever in a browser tab | You cannot find your way back at all |
| The phrase was never written down | You can find the door but cannot open it |
| The password lived only in memory | The same, one week later instead of one day |
| The listing was never read | You can arrive and log in, and still have no case |
Read that table as four different ways of ending up back at the start of the map with the work to do again. The cost of a stage C or stage D failure is not paid in stage C or stage D. It is paid here, which is why those cards sit so far upstream and why their arrows are so long.
What the stage deliberately leaves out
There is no dispute policy here, no time limit, no rating scale and no description of any market mechanism beyond the observation that funds are either still held or they are not. Those details belong to whoever operates a market and they change without notice. What does not change is the sequence, and the sequence is what this stage is about.
