A florist can show what changed when an arrangement uses an approved substitute. USDA NASS tracks floriculture products including cut flowers. An original tabletop arrangement can support training on item counts, substitutions and visibility. USDA NASS floriculture survey

Use two generic colors of artificial stems. Create an original specification and a substitution card for one color. Film the placement of several stems and leave one stem hidden in a second view. Ask which counts the video supports and what the approval permits.

Use owned props and cleared footage. Exclude recipient names, cards, occasions, addresses and real order files.

Original Fiund exercise

A color substitution changes the specification without proving a hidden stem count

An original tabletop bouquet uses owned artificial stems and dummy order codes. There is no recipient, message card, occasion or actual order.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
BFV1Original practice specificationArrangement A requires three BLUE and two WHITE stems. Approved substitution replaces WHITE with YELLOW for A only, keeping counts unchanged.
BFV2First assembly viewReviewer sees three blue and two yellow stems placed into A with visible item references; no white stem shown.
BFV3Second angleWrapper hides one of the yellow stem ends. View supports three blue and one visible yellow, with another region obscured. No removal event supplied.

Question for the model

What substitution is authorized, which view supports the full placed count, and does the obscured angle show that one yellow stem was removed?

Show the reference answer and checks

BFV1 authorizes two yellow in place of two white for A while retaining three blue. BFV2 supports all five placements under that specification. BFV3 has one obscured yellow region and no removal event, so its lower visible count does not show a change to the underlying arrangement. Keep specification, placement and view-limited detection separate rather than turn occlusion into an inventory decrease or apply the color approval to other orders.

  • Treating an approved color substitution as a change in total stem count.
  • Interpreting a lower visible count in an occluded view as a confirmed removal.

Fields to preserve

Arrangement and approved substitute
Defines the specification.
Placed stem count and event view
Supports actual assembly.
Occlusion and missing removal evidence
Limits later count claims.

Test another case

Add a separately observed removal from A. Require the underlying count to change only when the matching event is supplied.

Use owned artificial props, original forms and cleared footage. Exclude recipient details and actual order records.
