Inorganic chemical data for AI assay-basis checks

Basic inorganic chemical manufacturing spans products whose recorded form needs to remain explicit.

Basic inorganic chemical manufacturing spans products whose recorded form needs to remain explicit. The Census manual defines the industry scope. A focused exercise can examine whether a certificate concerns the exact form named on an order. Census inorganic chemical scope

Prepare fictional product cards, a sample certificate and a customer request. In the supplied glossary, distinguish an anhydrous product reference from a hydrated-form reference sharing the same base name. Give each its own lot and certificate. Ask the assistant which certificate answers the order and which assay statement applies to the identified form. Add a legacy invoice abbreviation that omits the form, with no mapping available for that invoice.

The key should require the complete glossary identity and the matching lot before accepting an assay entry. A high-looking number on the alternate form's certificate should fail that association. Evaluate with reordered identity fields, a newly introduced abbreviation and a complete invoice whose form is documented. Record whether the model used the full identity, chose the correct certificate and requested the missing legacy mapping. Supply any intended conversion rule explicitly.

Build the pilot entirely from original labels and invented results. A real supplier archive needs authority over purchaser specifications and laboratory material, including the aliases connecting them. Offer the exact-form identification task and a specialist-reviewed answer key. An accepted buyer brief should establish whether the available historical identity fields are sufficient or need further preparation.

Original Fiund exercise

A percentage with its moisture basis intact

A fictional certificate concerns inert sample X. Numbers exercise denominator logic only.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
1CertificateX reported at 95% on dry basis.
2Buyer mock requestAsk for percentage as received.
3WorksheetMoisture fraction unrecorded; no paired as-received result.

Question for the model

Can the dry-basis value populate the requested field?

Show the reference answer and checks

No. The 95% in record 1 has a dry denominator, while record 2 asks for the as-received denominator. Record 3 lacks the moisture fraction or an equivalent measurement. Preserve the reported 95% with its basis and leave the requested field unresolved.

  • Dropping the denominator tag while copying a percentage
  • Assuming unknown moisture is zero

Fields to preserve

assay_basis
Identifies which specimen mass is the denominator
moisture_value_status
Gates a basis conversion
requested_basis
Makes the mismatch explicit

Test another case

Supply a clearly defined mass fraction and ask for both values with their basis labels.

No real compound identities, analytical procedures, buyer limits or grade declarations.
