# Create Verification Drill

`POST /api/v1/doc-verification-suites/{suite_id}/drills`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.teaflask.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.teaflask.com/api/v1/doc-verification-suites/{suite_id}/drills`
- Auth: none declared

Creates the drill row and starts the drill workflow with the manual
trigger, which bypasses the enable/sampling gate. If the orchestration
service can't be reached the row is honestly settled as failed and the
caller gets the 503 — never a drill that silently goes nowhere.

## Path parameters

- `suite_id` string, uuid, required

## Response `201`
