A commercial property manager may receive a tenant request before the owner or facility team authorizes the vendor to do the work. Scale AI names property management as an enterprise data category. DOE Better Buildings resources discuss roles in leasing and tenant build-out. A manager can describe a single approval and completion workflow rather than exporting the property system.

Use a fictional suite and two practice work orders. Give one an approved access window, a confirmed completion, and a separate inspection note. Give the other an expired access authorization and a completion image that belongs to another order. Ask which status each source supports and which team must review the gap. Keep owner, tenant and contractor roles explicit.

Exclude tenant identities, building plans, access credentials, occupancy data, security schedules, and contractor contracts. Use simulated work orders and no access to a real property.

Describe a vendor work order sample

Original Fiund exercise

Work authorization, completion evidence and inspection are separate records

Two fictitious property work orders have role-specific approvals. The sample contains no real access window or building information and never authorizes entry.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
VW1Work order W-AOwner role approves exercise window D1; vendor completion references W-A; facility review confirms that completion.
VW2Work order W-BOld exercise window D0 expired; tenant request asks for further work, with no new owner approval.
VW3W-B photo attachmentVisible card says W-A. No W-B completion or facility inspection record supplied.

Question for the model

Which order has a supported authorization-to-review chain, and which roles or records must resolve W-B's gaps?

Show the reference answer and checks

VW1 supports W-A's stated owner authorization, vendor completion and separate facility review. VW2's tenant request does not renew the expired W-B authorization. VW3 belongs to W-A despite its attachment location, leaving W-B completion and inspection unevidenced. Identify the missing owner authorization and relevant vendor/facility records rather than granting access or marking W-B complete from another order's image.

  • Treating a tenant's request as the owner's renewed authorization.
  • Using W-A's completion image to close W-B or conflating completion with inspection.

Fields to preserve

Order identity and image card
Links evidence to the correct job.
Requester, authorizer and reviewer roles
Preserves each party's recorded authority.
Authorization validity and event states
Makes an expired window and missing review explicit.

Test another case

Add a renewed W-B authorization without any completion evidence. The answer should resolve that stage alone rather than declaring the whole job finished.

Use simulated orders only. Exclude tenant identities, security schedules, access credentials, floor plans, occupancy information and contractor contracts.
