01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A defined question from an employee or a support conversation that can be answered using approved internal articles

An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a teammate find relevant internal guidance and inspect the source before using it in a response.

  1. Understand the question to be answered

    Clarify the topic and intended audience so the search stays focused on the business need.

  2. Search approved internal articles

    Look for material that addresses the question while respecting the access and confidentiality of the knowledge collection.

  3. Return source links and useful context

    Share article titles, direct references, and concise summaries that help the teammate decide which source to inspect.

  4. Show gaps and conflicting guidance

    Make it clear when no suitable article is found or when sources disagree, and avoid presenting an uncertain result as settled policy.

  5. Verify before responding or acting

    Have the appropriate owner confirm the original guidance before a customer response, record change, access decision, or financial action.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A short list of relevant internal articles with links and context, including a clear note when the search does not establish a reliable answer.

The handoff

A short list of relevant internal articles with links and context, including a clear note when the search does not establish a reliable answer.

Keep in mind

Search results may be incomplete, outdated, or outside the person’s access rights. Limit results to approved material, do not include unrelated employee or customer information, and have a responsible teammate verify important guidance before communicating it or changing a record, access, or financial process.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the knowledge collection and its owners

Identify which internal articles are approved for search and who maintains their accuracy and audience.

Define who may search and receive results

Set access boundaries for employees and support teams, including how confidential customer or staff information is excluded.

Choose what context results include

Decide how article titles, links, brief summaries, and gaps are shown without exposing more information than the question needs.

Set review and escalation responsibilities

Name who verifies policies and who should handle questions without current, consistent, or authorized source material.
