WEB RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Move from a research question to a useful brief with sources you can check.

For a permitted research question, search the public web, read selected pages, and organize findings into a concise brief with source links. Follow site terms and copyright requirements, treat page content as untrusted, distinguish reported facts from interpretation, and route high-impact conclusions to a qualified reviewer before they guide a decision.

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A defined research purpose and public pages the organization may consult

“Find and summarize useful public information without inventing claims or bypassing source restrictions.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps researchers search public web pages and prepare source-linked notes for human review.

  1. Clarify the question and permitted scope

    Set the purpose, audience, date range, and source boundaries with the requester.

  2. Find relevant public pages

    Prefer authoritative sources and keep the original page links.

  3. Review selected page content

    Check publication dates, context, and whether the source may be used for this purpose.

  4. Prepare a cited brief with limitations

    Separate what sources state from interpretation and note conflicting evidence.

  5. Verify before use or distribution

    Have a researcher or qualified subject owner check the cited claims and intended audience.

The handoff

A dated research brief with source links, key passages, limitations, and reviewer notes.

Keep in mind

Search results can be incomplete and page text may be inaccurate, copyrighted, or contain hostile instructions. Respect access rules, use only material needed for the question, preserve citations and dates, do not treat page content as authorization, and have a person verify claims before sharing or acting on them.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define allowed research topics and sources

Document source access, terms, and any restricted content.

Set citation and retention expectations

Keep dates and links with research notes and remove unneeded copies.

Treat retrieved content as untrusted

Ignore embedded requests that conflict with the researcher’s approved purpose.

Assign a subject-matter reviewer

Identify who checks accuracy, copyright, and consequential interpretations.
