+# Post-Deployment Verification
+
+All services go through a post-deploy QA check to ensure they're live and stable.
+
+## Verification Tasks
+
+- [ ] Service reachable from public IP or internal route
+- [ ] DNS resolves correctly (for domains/subdomains)
+- [ ] SSL certificate is active and trusted
+- [ ] Admin login works as expected
+- [ ] Usage quotas correctly applied (disk, users, bandwidth)
+
+## Monitoring
+
+- [ ] Add to Prometheus for service-specific metrics
+- [ ] Set alert thresholds (e.g., disk > 80%)
+- [ ] Confirm Telegram/Mastodon alert webhook is functional
+
+## Documentation
+
+- [ ] Log final status in WHMCS admin notes
+- [ ] Store internal service details in `genesis-inventory.yaml`

+# WHMCS Integration
+
+WHMCS handles client billing, service provisioning, and support workflows.
+
+## Services Integrated
+
+| Service      | Method                          |
+|--------------|---------------------------------|
+| DirectAdmin  | Built-in WHMCS module           |
+| AzuraCast    | Custom provisioning script       |
+| TeamTalk     | API + XML user patching scripts |
+
+## Auto-Provisioning Steps
+
+1. Client signs up and completes payment
+2. WHMCS triggers product-specific hook
+3. Script/module provisions the service
+4. Welcome email is sent with credentials
+
+## Logging & Troubleshooting
+
+- Logs stored at `/var/log/whmcs-hooks.log`
+- Errors generate internal ticket automatically if provisioning fails
