IKEA's published 3D assembly repository highlights correspondence between model variants and assembly-document versions. This is research context for an original office-chair document task using self-authored designs and instructions. IKEA model-and-document context

Draw fictional chair-base variants with different visible marker positions. Supply an original instruction index and executed kit list. Ask which instruction version belongs to the selected kit. Include a document with a newer filename but a different variant and an older copy with the correct variant but superseded step references. The key should resolve both identity and effective revision.

Annotate kit, base variant, instruction identifier, revision, effective event and visible marker. Hold out another base outline and naming convention for evaluation. Score latest-file guessing, variant mismatch and a superseded instruction accepted independently. A complete case should link the kit's component register to the issued instruction index.

Use original illustrations and inert paper props. The linked repository's noncommercial license does not establish permission to redistribute its assets commercially. Customer designs, licensed instructions, supplier data and employee recordings need source authority. Define the model-document association task and checked key with a buyer before preparing commercial material. The sample makes no chair-performance, assembly-safety or certification determination.

Original Fiund exercise

A chair-base instruction sheet has the wrong variant scope

Two original paper base designs use fictional model and revision keys. No real assembly instructions appear.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
1Variant mapBase V1 uses note N1; base V2 uses N2.
2Box labelChair family C7, base V2.
3Insert photoN1 visible; revision field legible.

Question for the model

What mismatch belongs on the packing record?

Show the reference answer and checks

Record 2 names V2, for which record 1 lists N2. The photographed insert N1 matches V1 instead. Flag a documentation mismatch for the base option without assuming the physical base inside the box was independently inspected.

  • Using chair family rather than base variant
  • Treating an instruction insert as proof of actual contents

Fields to preserve

base_variant
Determines the applicable note
insert_id
Identifies the pictured document
content_verification
Keeps paperwork and part checks independent

Test another case

Add a shared instruction note with separate sections for both variants; check that V2's section is present.

No real chair assembly steps, ergonomic claims, load ratings or brand documents.
