RESPONSIBLE OUTREACH · Workflow idea

Build a useful local directory without collecting beyond a clear, permitted business purpose.

For authorized work involving relevant business listings, public contact details, and proposed research assignments, prepare a limited list of source-linked businesses and relevant public details for a researcher to verify. Listings may be stale, identify a sole proprietor, or carry collection and reuse restrictions. Respect access terms, collect only necessary business details, verify identity and location, honor contact preferences, and require approval before importing records or starting outreach. Explain information use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
