Office procedure version histories for training AI assistants
An office assistant can give a plausible answer from a procedure that was replaced last month.
NAICS 561110 · Office Administrative Services
An office assistant can give a plausible answer from a procedure that was replaced last month. A useful dataset pairs a request with the version of the procedure that applied at the time. Appen’s enterprise offering describes interest in procedural documents, revision histories and exceptions. Ask whether the buyer wants an evaluation of document retrieval, revision tracking or handoff decisions. Appen enterprise data
Create a change that invalidates an old instruction
Write two fictional versions of an office records request. In one, an approval role changes after a specific date. Give the model a request, the two instructions and the timestamps available to the administrator. The verified answer identifies the correct version, shows where it came from, and asks a human when authority is unclear. Hold back a different type of procedure change for evaluation.
A buyer can test whether a model cites the active rule and handles exceptions. Keep this separate from judging employees or authorizing transactions.
Keep real client records outside the first example
A service provider can administer information it does not own. Check client and vendor terms before considering records. Exclude personal contact details, invoices, personnel information and account access. Use original fictional examples to demonstrate the structure and identify who could authorize any actual data.

Original Fiund exercise
A changed approval role makes an older office instruction insufficient
An original records-request procedure uses fictional roles and dummy documents. It contains no client record, invoice, personnel detail, contact or system access.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| OP1 | Procedure v1 | Through day 9, original mock records requests require approval from role DESK-A. |
| OP2 | Procedure v2 | Effective day 10, replaces DESK-A with DESK-B. A stated exception for historical requests requires supervisor clarification; no automatic carryover rule. |
| OP3 | Request R | Created day 8 with DESK-A approval, reopened day 12 for a changed document scope. No DESK-B approval or supervisor clarification supplied. |
Question for the model
Which procedure explains the original approval, and what should the assistant flag for the reopened request?
Show the reference answer and checks
OP1 explains R's original day-eight DESK-A approval. OP2 controls the day-12 period and changes the required role to DESK-B while leaving historical-request exceptions for supervisor clarification. OP3 also changes scope and supplies neither that clarification nor a new approval. Cite both versions and route the authority gap rather than assume the old sign-off covers reopened work or silently authorize a records action.
- Answering from an obsolete approval role because it appears in a familiar procedure.
- Assuming a historical approval automatically covers a changed, reopened request.
Fields to preserve
- Procedure version and effective interval
- Selects the rule.
- Request creation, reopening and changed scope
- Defines the event.
- Approval role and exception evidence
- Identifies the unresolved authority.
Test another case
Use a procedure change to retention period instead of role. Require retrieval of the changed field and its effective date without copying the earlier role-based answer.
Use independently authored procedures. Exclude actual client records and account access; authorized owners review any proposed real data package.
