Passenger vessel boarding and transfer counts for AI review
A reservation count, a gate count, and a count after an intermediate stop can all be valid and still describe different things.

A reservation count, a gate count, and a count after an intermediate stop can all be valid and still describe different things. Coast Guard small passenger vessel materials provide one example of recordkeeping context. Applicable procedures differ by service and vessel. An operator can use fictional aggregate counts to evaluate evidence matching without disclosing a manifest. U.S. Coast Guard small passenger vessel material
Invent a two-leg journey with reserved, boarded, transferred, and canceled counts. Correct one boarding number and keep both versions visible. Ask the assistant to reconstruct the supported count at each point and flag a gap where a transfer lacks confirmation. Include a different service pattern in evaluation so the model cannot assume all passengers remain onboard for the next leg.
Use synthetic counts and labels. Keep passenger details, vessel access controls, crew information, and current sailing data private. The benchmark does not determine whether a vessel may depart.
Describe a boarding records sample
Original Fiund exercise
Reservations, corrected boarding and intermediate transfers use different count bases
A fictional two-leg journey uses artificial aggregate counts only. There is no manifest, vessel, crew, access detail, live sailing or departure decision.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| PVB1 | Leg 1 plan | Reservations 20, canceled reservations 2. These are booking records, not observed boarding. |
| PVB2 | Boarding and correction | Initial leg-1 boarding 17; approved correction explicitly replaces it with 18. At intermediate stop, confirmed 3 leave and 2 board. |
| PVB3 | Other transfer note | Proposed additional transfer of 1 has no completed event. No other movements under this fixture's stated count rule. |
Question for the model
Which counts are supported at initial boarding and after the confirmed intermediate events, and can the proposed transfer change them?
Show the reference answer and checks
PVB2 sets corrected initial boarding at 18, replacing the original 17 rather than adding another boarding group. Confirmed intermediate events yield 18 minus three plus two, or 17 onboard in the fictional count model. PVB3's proposed extra transfer lacks completion and cannot change that observed-event total. PVB1's reservations describe a different state. Preserve all bases without inferring real passenger identity, safety capacity or permission to depart.
- Using reservations as observed boarding or double-counting original and corrected totals.
- Applying a proposed transfer as if completed or assuming every leg retains all passengers.
Fields to preserve
- Journey leg and count type
- Defines the quantity.
- Boarding correction and replacement target
- Preserves the current count.
- Confirmed transfer event and proposed state
- Supports interval reconstruction.
Test another case
Add an intermediate event for another journey with the same stop label. Require the journey mismatch to prevent changing this count.
Use synthetic aggregates and original records. Exclude manifests, staff and current sailing information; qualified staff retain all vessel decisions.
