## 2. What a "Variant" Means
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+
### Definitions
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
**Product:** A single purchasable item from the Voila catalog, identified by `external_id`.
|
| 36 |
+
|
| 37 |
+
**Product Group:** A set of products that share the same identity. Group membership is determined by:
|
| 38 |
+
- `identity_hash` (extracted from Phase 2): 9 boolean identity attributes
|
| 39 |
+
- `product_domain`: food / non_food / unknown
|
| 40 |
+
- `normalized_core_title`: tokenized, deduplicated, sorted title
|
| 41 |
+
|
| 42 |
+
**Variant:** A purchasable representation of the same reference product that differs in **size or package attributes**. Variants within the same group share all identity attributes but differ in size/quantity.
|
| 43 |
+
|
| 44 |
+
### Relationship
|
| 45 |
+
|
| 46 |
+
```
|
| 47 |
+
Product Group (identity)
|
| 48 |
+
Variant 1 (500g)
|
| 49 |
+
Product A (external_id: 506623EA)
|
| 50 |
+
Product B (external_id: 484129EA) [if same size, same variant]
|
| 51 |
+
Variant 2 (1kg)
|
| 52 |
+
Product C (external_id: 506661EA)
|
| 53 |
+
Variant 3 (2kg)
|
| 54 |
+
Product D (external_id: 250067EA)
|
| 55 |
+
```
|
| 56 |
+
|
| 57 |
+
### Why This Distinction?
|
| 58 |
+
|
| 59 |
+
The reference database serves a different purpose than a product catalog:
|
| 60 |
+
- **Product Group** = "What is this product?" (identity)
|
| 61 |
+
- **Variant** = "How can I buy it?" (purchasable form)
|
| 62 |
+
- **Product** = "Which specific SKU am I looking at?" (retailer SKU)
|
| 63 |
+
|
| 64 |
+
### Concrete Example: Peanut Butter
|
| 65 |
+
|
| 66 |
+
**Smooth Peanut Butter 500g, 1kg, 2kg:**
|
| 67 |
+
- Same product group (same identity: smooth, non-organic, Compliments)
|
| 68 |
+
- Three size variants: 500g, 1kg, 2kg
|
| 69 |
+
- Different variant_keys: `amt500.0|unitg`, `amt1.0|unitkg`, `amt2.0|unitkg`
|
| 70 |
+
|
| 71 |
+
**Smooth vs Crunchy vs Organic:**
|
| 72 |
+
- Different product groups (different identity attributes)
|
| 73 |
+
- Smooth != Crunchy (formulation difference)
|
| 74 |
+
- Organic vs non-organic (is_organic difference)
|
| 75 |
+
- Each gets its own group_id
|
| 76 |
+
|
| 77 |
+
**Dog Treat Peanut Butter:**
|
| 78 |
+
- Different product group (different core_title, different identity)
|
| 79 |
+
- Not a variant of human peanut butter
|
| 80 |
+

## 4. Variant Assignment Rules
|
| 140 |
+
|
| 141 |
+
### Rule 1: Variant Key Generation
|
| 142 |
+
|
| 143 |
+
**Rule Name:** `build_variant_key`
|
| 144 |
+
**Input Columns:** `variant_attributes` (JSON from Phase 2)
|
| 145 |
+
**Output Column:** `variant_key`
|
| 146 |
+
|
| 147 |
+
**Logic:**
|
| 148 |
+
|
| 149 |
+
```
|
| 150 |
+
1. Parse variant_attributes JSON
|
| 151 |
+
2. If "count" is present:
|
| 152 |
+
key = "count{count}" # e.g., "count20"
|
| 153 |
+
3. Else if "amount" is present:
|
| 154 |
+
key = "amt{amount}"
|
| 155 |
+
If unit: append "|unit{unit}" # e.g., "amt500.0|unitg"
|
| 156 |
+
If qty > 1: append "|qty{qty}" # e.g., "amt12|unitml|qty12"
|
| 157 |
+
If multiplier > 1: append "|mult{mult}"
|
| 158 |
+
4. Else if "raw" is present:
|
| 159 |
+
key = "raw{raw_string}" # fallback
|
| 160 |
+
5. Else:
|
| 161 |
+
key = "nosize" # no size info
|
| 162 |
+
```
|
| 163 |
+
|
| 164 |
+
**Examples:**
|
| 165 |
+
|
| 166 |
+
| variant_attributes | variant_key |
|
| 167 |
+
|--------------------|-------------|
|
| 168 |
+
| `{"amount": 500.0, "unit": "g"}` | `amt500.0\|unitg` |
|
| 169 |
+
| `{"amount": 1.0, "unit": "kg"}` | `amt1.0\|unitkg` |
|
| 170 |
+
| `{"count": 20}` | `count20` |
|
| 171 |
+
| `{"qty": 12, "amount": 29.583, "unit": "ml"}` | `amt29.583\|unitml\|qty12` |
|
| 172 |
+
| `{}` | `nosize` |
|
| 173 |
+
|
| 174 |
+
**Why:** Variant keys capture size/package differences. Products with the same variant_key are identical purchasable forms.
|
| 175 |
+
|
| 176 |
+
### Rule 2: Variant ID Generation
|
| 177 |
+
|
| 178 |
+
**Rule Name:** `generate_variant_id`
|
| 179 |
+
**Input Columns:** `group_id`, `variant_key`
|
| 180 |
+
**Output Column:** `variant_id`
|
| 181 |
+
|
| 182 |
+
**Logic:**
|
| 183 |
+
|
| 184 |
+
```python
|
| 185 |
+
variant_id = uuid5(NAMESPACE_DNS, f"{group_id}||{variant_key}")
|
| 186 |
+
```
|
| 187 |
+
|
| 188 |
+
**Examples:**
|
| 189 |
+
|
| 190 |
+
| group_id | variant_key | variant_id |
|
| 191 |
+
|----------|-------------|------------|
|
| 192 |
+

|
| 196 |
+
**Why:** Deterministic UUID5 ensures reproducibility. Same input always produces same ID.
|
| 197 |
+
|
| 198 |
+
### Rule 3: Variant Assignment
|
| 199 |
+
|
| 200 |
+
**Rule Name:** `assign_variants`
|
| 201 |
+
**Input Columns:** `group_id`, `variant_key`
|
| 202 |
+
**Output Columns:** `variant_key`, `variant_id`
|
| 203 |
+
|
| 204 |
+
**Logic:**
|
| 205 |
+
|
| 206 |
+
```
|
| 207 |
+
1. For each product: compute variant_key from variant_attributes
|
| 208 |
+
2. For each product: compute variant_id from group_id + variant_key
|
| 209 |
+
3. Products in same group with same variant_key -> same variant_id
|
| 210 |
+
4. Products in same group with different variant_keys -> different variant_ids
|
| 211 |
+
```
|
| 212 |
+
|
| 213 |
+
**Why:** This is the core variant assignment logic. It groups products by their purchasable form within each reference product group.

## 8. Potential Issues
|
| 313 |
+
|
| 314 |
+
### Issue 1: Products with nosize (215 products, 4.8%)
|
| 315 |
+
|
| 316 |
+
**Description:** 215 products have no size information in `variant_attributes`. They receive `variant_key = "nosize"` and are still assigned deterministic variant_ids.
|
| 317 |
+
|
| 318 |
+
**Impact:** Low. These products cannot be distinguished by size. If two products in the same group both have nosize, they will share the same variant_id.
|
| 319 |
+
|
| 320 |
+
**Recommendation:** This is expected behavior. Size information is not always available in the Voila catalog.
|
| 321 |
+
|
| 322 |
+
### Issue 2: Limited variant-distinguishing attributes
|
| 323 |
+
|
| 324 |
+
**Description:** Variant assignment is based solely on size/package attributes. Products with identical size but different packaging (bottle vs jar) cannot be distinguished.
|
| 325 |
+
|
| 326 |
+
**Impact:** Low for current dataset. The Voila catalog does not contain packaging type information.
|
| 327 |
+
|
| 328 |
+
**Recommendation:** If packaging data becomes available in the future, it can be added to variant_key generation.
|
| 329 |
+
|
| 330 |
+
### Issue 3: Products with merged variants
|
| 331 |
+
|
| 332 |
+
**Description:** 131 variants contain 2+ products (3.0%). These are products with identical variant_keys within the same group.
|
| 333 |
+
|
| 334 |
+
**Impact:** Low. These products have the same size and are in the same group. They are effectively the same purchasable form.
|
| 335 |
+
|
| 336 |
+
**Recommendation:** This is expected behavior. Multiple retailer SKUs can map to the same variant.
|
| 337 |
+
|
| 338 |

|
| 339 |
+
|
| 340 |
+
## 9. Recommendations
|
| 341 |
+
|
| 342 |
+
1. **Phase 4 is safe to freeze.** All validation checks pass. The variant assignment logic is deterministic and reproducible.
|
| 343 |
+
2. **Phase 5 (Nutrition Merge)** should join nutrition data on `external_id` via the `product_variant_mapping.parquet`.
|
| 344 |
+
3. **Future enhancement:** If packaging type data becomes available, it can be added to variant_key without breaking the current structure.
