# Web Developer Payment-Boundary Interview

> Reveal what a web developer, agency, plugin, hosting service, and deployment path can change around payment.

**Expected output:** A bounded interview record connecting website control, payment integration, identities, change paths, scripts, providers, and retained evidence.  
**Working time:** 50 minutes  
**Derived from:** WACK-CONTENT-0147

## Working context

Organization / environment: __________________________________________  
Facilitator / owner: __________________________________________________  
Participants: _________________________________________________________  
Date: ____________________  Review trigger or next date: ______________

## 01 / Find — Identify website actors

List developers, agencies, hosts, DNS, plugins, repositories, deployment services, administrators, and payment integrations.

- [ ] **Who can change the page?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

- [ ] **Which service injects or loads code?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

## 02 / Map — Follow change authority

Map credentials and deployment paths to pages, scripts, payment redirects, embedded forms, and provider settings.

- [ ] **How does code reach production?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

- [ ] **Who can alter the payment journey?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

## 03 / Explain — State the security relationship

Describe influence without converting a technical fact into an automatic scope or compliance conclusion.

- [ ] **What is directly observed?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

- [ ] **What conclusion needs program or assessor judgment?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

## 04 / Reduce — Narrow control

Remove dormant accounts, unused plugins, shared credentials, and unnecessary production access.

- [ ] **Which access can be removed?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

- [ ] **Which change path bypasses review?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

## 05 / Prove — Retain change evidence

Keep current identities, configuration, approvals, deployment observations, provider evidence, and change history.

- [ ] **Can a production change be reconstructed?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

- [ ] **What evidence covers the current page?**

  Notes: ________________________________________________

## Completion check

- [ ] All website administrators and change paths are named.
- [ ] Payment-page influence is described separately from scope conclusions.
- [ ] Current production evidence supports the recorded implementation.

## Decision and next action

Decision: _____________________________________________________________  
Owner: __________________________  Due date: ___________________________  
Evidence or artifact location: ________________________________________
