WEB RESEARCH INTAKE · Workflow idea

Gather the information you need from a website, with sources to check.

Start with an approved website, a clear question, and the specific information needed. Prepare findings with their page addresses so a researcher can verify accuracy, access permission, and context before using or sharing them.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An approved page address and a defined request for selected information

“Review permitted web pages for the requested details, keep findings connected to their sources, and prepare the results for human verification.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps researchers collect selected information from web pages and organize it around a defined question.

  1. Define the research question and site

    Choose a site that the team is permitted to review and state exactly what information is needed.

  2. Gather only relevant page details

    Review pages within the agreed scope and avoid collecting unrelated or restricted information.

  3. Keep each finding connected to its source

    Retain the page address and useful context so a researcher can reopen the source and check the result.

  4. Make gaps and uncertainty clear

    Separate confirmed details from missing, ambiguous, or conflicting information rather than filling gaps with guesses.

  5. Verify before acting or sharing

    Have a researcher check important findings, confirm their permitted use, and approve any record change or external communication.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A source-linked set of requested details with missing or uncertain information visible for a researcher to review.

The handoff

A source-linked set of requested details with missing or uncertain information visible for a researcher to review.

Keep in mind

A website may restrict access, change over time, or contain information that should not be collected. Respect site terms and privacy expectations, gather only what is needed, verify material findings against the original pages, and require a person to approve any consequential use or external communication.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose allowed sites and research purposes

Document which websites may be reviewed, for what purpose, and which information is out of scope.

Specify requested details and sources

Describe the fields needed and how findings should retain page links and relevant context.

Set privacy and review ownership

Limit collection and access, and name who verifies findings and approves their later use.

Test missing, restricted, and changing pages

Check incomplete information, inaccessible content, and changed pages to ensure findings remain qualified and traceable.
