Oilfield equipment data for AI certificate and assembly scope

API publishes information about its product and quality programs.

API publishes information about its product and quality programs. A manufacturer can define an original document task that keeps a component reference, completed assembly and the stated scope of supporting records separate. API program context

Create a fictional assembly drawing, component certificates and a completed-unit register. Give two assemblies a common component but different final identifiers. Ask the assistant which sources are documented for the selected unit. Include a certificate for a component only and a report for an earlier assembly revision. The reference key should preserve those limits instead of extending either record to the full current configuration.

Annotate component, assembly, revision, record scope and effective date. Hold out a new register layout for evaluation. Score component evidence treated as whole-unit evidence, wrong-revision selection and unsupported identity joins independently. The task should identify record relationships without determining operating capability or issuing a certification judgment.

Use original mock references and invented values. Actual customer specifications, program artwork, licensed methods and inspection reports need permission and qualified review. A contributor proposal should state the evidence-scope task and checked examples. Establish the buyer's accepted source material before preparing an archive or additional capture.

Original Fiund exercise

Evidence for one assembly item stays with that item

Paper boxes represent fictional oilfield components; no wells, processes, pressures or operating data appear.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
1Unit mapU6 contains component V1 and joint module J4.
2Document indexC9 covers V1 only; C10 covers J4 variant J4-B.
3Build recordU6 contains V1 and installed J4-A.

Question for the model

What evidence is applicable to the recorded build?

Show the reference answer and checks

C9 names the installed V1 and can be linked at that component scope. C10 does not match J4-A, because record 2 limits it to J4-B. Records 1–3 supply no evidence about U6 as a whole, so neither component entry should be presented as unit coverage.

  • Promoting a component document to whole-unit coverage
  • Ignoring the joint module suffix

Fields to preserve

build_serial
Pins the completed unit
component_variant
Compares installed and documented parts
evidence_scope
Preserves component versus assembly coverage

Test another case

Add a unit-level summary that references certificates for one configuration; require matching its actual installed parts.

No actual well or equipment specs, pressure control information, procedures, compliance or customer records.

Describe the sources you control, the task they could support and what has already been checked. Use the existing-data assessment for an archive or the collection brief for a new recording project. The contributor agreement defines Fiund’s licensing authority and compensation. A guide or fictional exercise does not establish an accepted collection or a sale.
