ONLINE RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Bring useful information from selected sources into one answer.

Ask a question about information available from approved public websites or services, then gather relevant details into a concise draft. Keep source links with the answer, note when information is missing, and require a person to check the result before sharing it outside the team.

A clear request.
A useful direction.

“Gather relevant public information, retain source references, and prepare a response for human review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps people gather information from selected online sources without assembling every detail by hand.

  1. Choose the question and permitted sources

    Define what the team needs to know and which public sources may be used to answer it.

  2. Gather relevant source material

    Retrieve only the information needed for the question and keep its origin and date clear.

  3. Prepare a focused answer

    Summarize the relevant details, distinguish source facts from interpretation, and flag missing information.

  4. Check claims and source links

    Have a person verify material claims against the original pages and confirm that the sources remain relevant.

  5. Approve before responding externally

    Require an authorized reviewer to approve the exact wording and intended recipient before a reply is sent.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A concise draft answer with links to its sources and uncertainty made visible.

The handoff

A concise draft answer with links to its sources and uncertainty made visible.

Keep in mind

Online information may be inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or subject to access and reuse restrictions. Use only sources the team is permitted to access, keep clear citations, verify important claims with the original material, and require human approval before any external response or consequential use.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select permitted source types

Choose public pages or services that the team is authorized to consult and define the scope of collection.

Set source and citation expectations

Keep links, publication dates, and relevant context with each answer.

Define privacy and response rules

Avoid sending personal or confidential information to a source and require review before external replies.

Test incomplete and conflicting information

Confirm the answer identifies gaps or disagreements rather than presenting uncertain details as facts.
