Bulk storage inventory records for AI reconciliation
Storage capacity and recorded inventory answer different questions.
NAICS 493190 · Other Warehousing and Storage
Storage capacity and recorded inventory answer different questions. A transfer review may need a third quantity, the amount already committed under the exercise’s records. Census distinguishes bulk storage from merchant wholesale distribution, and EPA explains bulk oil storage capacity in its program context. Use a fictional records exercise to test whether a model identifies each quantity correctly. Census NAICS manual · EPA bulk oil storage capacity context
Invent two vessel aliases, rated capacities, dated stock observations, and a proposed transfer. Give one proposed movement a later authorization and leave the other unconfirmed. Ask which values are rated, measured, or planned, and what a reviewer needs for reconciliation. Include unlike units or dates only where the expected answer flags the mismatch.
Use deliberately fictional values. Do not share real layouts, capacities, product specifications, tenant and buyer information, control systems, or facility procedures. The output is a records check, with actual operations under human control.
Describe a storage records benchmark
Original Fiund exercise
Rated capacity, measured stock and authorized movement are different quantity states
An invented storage ledger uses abstract vessels and arbitrary volume units. It contains no real capacity, product, facility layout, tenant or control-system information.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| BSI1 | Vessel A card | Rated capacity 100 practice volume units. Day-2 observed stock 60 units; separately committed outbound 15, no movement confirmation. |
| BSI2 | Transfer proposal | Proposes moving 10 units from A to B. Later authority approves that proposal, but no measured transfer or updated stock observation supplied. |
| BSI3 | Vessel B card | Capacity 80 practice units. Stock field 40 mass units dated day 1; no density/conversion or current volume observation. |
Question for the model
Which A quantities are rated, observed, committed or approved, and can B's mass be reconciled with the proposed volume transfer?
Show the reference answer and checks
BSI1 labels A's 100 as rated capacity, 60 as observed stock and 15 as committed outbound, not completed movement. BSI2 approves a ten-unit proposal without execution evidence, so A's observed 60 must not silently become 50. BSI3 mixes an earlier mass observation with a volume-based proposal and lacks a conversion basis. Report the distinct states and missing reconciliation inputs without authorizing an actual storage operation.
- Replacing measured stock with capacity or subtracting approved but unexecuted movements as fact.
- Combining mass and volume without a documented conversion and date basis.
Fields to preserve
- Vessel and quantity type
- Defines the meaning.
- Observation date and unit
- Supports comparison.
- Commitment, approval and execution evidence
- Separates planned from observed states.
Test another case
Add a verified transfer measurement and new A observation. Require the actual post-transfer state to come from those records rather than the proposal alone.
Use wholly fictional values. Exclude layouts, specifications, buyers and procedures; authorized staff retain operational control.
