PUBLIC DISCUSSION RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Find conversations that may point to a business need.

Search selected public discussions for topics that matter to your team. Organize potentially relevant posts with their source references and prepare short summaries so a researcher can judge whether they describe a genuine need. Treat each match as a research lead—not consent to contact the person—and keep any outreach under human approval.

  2. Find potentially relevant conversations

    Gather public posts that appear related to the selected topics and preserve a link to each original discussion.

  3. Prepare a concise lead summary

    Describe the stated need and relevant context without inferring identity, budget, or intent beyond what the author shared.

  4. Review relevance, privacy, and contact suitability

    Have a researcher check the source, terms, and whether the discussion is suitable for any follow-up.

  5. Approve before recording broadly or reaching out

    Keep records limited to the appropriate team and require approval of the exact recipient and message before any external outreach.

A source-linked list of possible business leads and discussion summaries for a researcher to assess.

Keep in mind

A public post is not proof of buying intent or permission for outreach. Review the original discussion and applicable contact preferences, restrict lead details to authorized staff, and require explicit approval of the exact message and recipient before any external contact. Access changes and financial actions also require human approval.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define topics and permitted sources

Select research terms and public spaces that fit the intended business question.

Choose useful lead fields

Keep only the source reference and discussion details needed to assess relevance; avoid unnecessary personal information.

Set review and retention boundaries

Limit access to research staff and decide how long unqualified discussion records should be kept.

Assign outreach and action approvers

Name who reviews each possible lead and who approves any external message, access change, or financial action.
