In the delivery protection model, the arbiter evaluates every transaction. The arbiter or a satisfied payer can capture funds. If the arbiter issues a FAIL verdict, it can trigger an immediate refund without waiting for escrow expiry. If nobody acts, funds return to the payer once escrow expires. This differs from the marketplace model where the merchant releases funds and the arbiter only gets involved when a payer files a dispute. Use this when every response needs programmatic quality checks: AI content verification, garbage detection, schema validation.
