Scope: Inflatable Bouncers = blower-inflated structures for backyard/party/event play — standalone bounce houses, bounce-slide combos, inflatable obstacle courses, and wet/dry combo units with an attached slide or pool. Excludes non-inflatable playhouses, sandboxes, slides, swing sets, trampolines (sibling leaves) and water toys with no bounce chamber.

## Seed
1. The weave/thread-count equivalent here is grade (residential vs commercial): a printed "ASTM certified" badge is the generic claim, like thread count; which standard (F2374 vs F2729) and whether material/seam docs back it up is the real tell.
2. A mechanic-persona notices blower CFM and wind rating first, not the theme/print — those are what fail first (under-inflation, wind lift-off), while graphics are cosmetic.

## Branches
- structure_type: bounce_house makes slide_or_climb_features irrelevant; slide_combo/obstacle_course/wet_combo all then-ask slide_or_climb_features — supported by product1 (plain bouncer, no slide) vs product2 (combo with dual-lane slide) having materially different feature sets.
- grade: commercial then-asks electrical_safety_features (UL/ETL) and governing_standard explicitly, since rental liability turns on documented F2374 compliance — herokiddo_astm_guide.
- water_compatible: wet_dry then-asks slide_or_climb_features (pool/slide are the water features) — herokiddo_product_ninjacombo vs littletikes (dry-only).

## Noise
- Print theme/graphics (circus, dinosaur, ninja) — cosmetic, not expertise.
- Warranty length (2yr, 3-5yr commercial) — mentioned on brand pages but a business term, not a buyer-expertise facet.
- Included accessories (repair patches, storage bag, stakes) — standard inclusion across nearly all listings, not a differentiator.
- Basketball hoop / built-in game add-ons — a feature of specific SKUs, folded into slide_or_climb_features rather than its own facet.
- Price, brand, rating — excluded per rule.

## Corrections (2026-10-26)
- Rejected fix 1 (age_range reclassify to researched): re-fetched all three listings directly — littletikes_jumpnslide has a dedicated "product-badges__item--age" spec badge reading "3 - 8 years" next to its SKU, and herokiddo_product_ninjacombo's description states "RECOMMENDED AGE & USERS: Suitable for kids ages 3+ and adults"; only herokiddo_product_bigtop omits age entirely. 2 of 3 fetched listings do state it as product content (not nav tags), so source:listing/backfill_cost:low stands; refined listing_field_hint to describe the badge/bullet pattern instead of "title."
- Reclassified blower_power_cfm from source:listing to source:researched — both fetched spec sheets give only horsepower, matching the facet's own backfill_note.
- Reclassified bounce_area_sqft from source:researched to source:listing, backfill_cost medium→low — both cited sources state the figure directly with no computation needed.
- Added facet unit_height_ft (overall unit height, 6-17 ft, two sources: herokiddo_product_bigtop, littletikes_jumpnslide) for garage/indoor ceiling-clearance fit, not previously captured.
- Added facet flame_resistance_documentation (CPAI-84 documented vs undocumented) for the compliance red-flag named in herokiddo_astm_guide; corroborated CPAI-84 as a real flame-resistance standard via a second, independent source (wikipedia_truck_tent) and re-pointed the existing CPAI-84 vocabulary entry to this new facet instead of governing_standard.
- Added vocabulary entries for "UL" and "ETL," used in electrical_safety_features' ul_or_etl_listed value but previously undefined.
- Lowered backfill_cost for inflation_type (medium→low) and wind_rating_mph (high→low): both admit a near-universal default confirmed across independent sources, making practical backfill cost low even though the raw fact is rarely stated outright.
- Rejected fix 7 (blower noise-level dB facet): only herokiddo_blower_guide gives actual dB figures (55-80 dB by tier); re-fetched thecarnivaldepot_blower_guide and it only says higher HP means "more noise" qualitatively, no numbers — a numeric facet would be single-sourced, violating the two-source rule for ranges. Left uncaptured.
