Marker: AI-SEARCH-INSTALLATION-INSTRUCTIONS-CHECKLIST-READY
Use this when: a retailer, ecommerce brand, manufacturer, installer, home-service provider, agency, or local business publishes setup steps that AI search tools, chatbots, or support macros might quote as instructions.
STOP PUBLISHING: do not let AI invent installation steps, compatibility, measurements, tools, safety warnings, electrical/plumbing/structural requirements, warranty effects, code requirements, professional-installation needs, or troubleshooting advice. A responsible human must verify every instruction against an official manual, product spec, supplier document, qualified technician, or owner-approved source first.
Installation instruction source card
| Field | What to record | Safe example |
|---|---|---|
| Product / service | Exact SKU, model, version, package, service type, affected page, and audience. | Model ABC-200 shelf kit; product FAQ and post-purchase email. |
| Official source | Manual, supplier spec, installation sheet, internal SOP, technician note, or owner-approved proof. | Manufacturer manual v2.1, page 8, dated 2026-05-30. |
| Required tools / conditions | Tools, surface, environment, dimensions, preparation, parts, and not-included items. | Stud finder, level, included anchors; not for masonry without approved hardware. |
| Approved public wording | Exact customer-safe wording the business is willing to publish. | Follow the included manual. If wall type or wiring is uncertain, stop and contact a qualified installer. |
| Do-not-say list | Unsupported shortcuts AI must not infer. | Do not say universal fit, no tools needed, safe for all walls, warranty-safe, code-compliant, or professional installation not required unless the source proves it. |
| Review owner | Who approves missing, risky, or changed installation claims. | Operations owner plus qualified technician for safety-sensitive instructions. |
Customer-safe copy blocks
Short page note: Installation details for [product/service] should be followed from [official source]. If your wall, wiring, surface, measurements, local code, warranty status, or safety conditions differ from the source, stop and contact [support/qualified installer] before proceeding.Risky-answer handoff: I do not want to guess about [installation / compatibility / safety / warranty]. I am routing this to [review owner] and will answer only from the approved instruction source card.Page update checklist:
- Paste the latest installation instruction source card.
- Remove unsupported setup, compatibility, safety, warranty, or code claims.
- Add model/version limits, review date, and professional-review triggers.
- Mark missing proof as NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW, not as a published answer.AI-search audit prompt
