Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled

Product class, SKU, engineering revision, EBOM/MBOM, components and allowed substitutions. The software image and the serial instance have separate identities.

Why it exists Filled

Product class, SKU, engineering revision, EBOM/MBOM, components and allowed substitutions. The software image and the serial instance have separate identities.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • A BOM has a type and a version
  • A quantity includes a unit
  • A substitution requires an applicability range

What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review

Must not

  • Negative case: A single Product record simultaneously denotes a drawing, a SKU and a serial number.

Note: Negative case of the research brief, not yet a rule for agents.

Open questions

  • How to reconcile the engineering and manufacturing composition?
  • How to define the applicability of a revision to a batch?
  • How to link firmware to a device without mixing types?
  • Установить границу и решение reuse/extend/new по действующим спецификациям.
  • Подтвердить semantic crosswalk, права и source mastership.
  • Выбрать immutable refs; провести проверки fixtures до заявления о публикационной готовности.
