RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Get a research plan ready for discussion without skipping participant protection or researcher judgment.

For a team or individual with an authorized purpose, prepare research questions, method options, and a plan draft for a UX researcher to refine and approve. Study plans can expose confidential product strategy or lead to intrusive research. Limit access to briefs, use accessible and non-leading questions, plan informed consent and data minimization, validate methods with a qualified researcher, and require their approval before recruitment or participant contact. Use only information the requester may access, explain personal-data use and retention, verify source details and rights, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Prepare research questions, method options, and a plan draft for a UX researcher to refine and approve.

  1. Define the question and permitted sources

    Set scope and dates, and use only sources that may be accessed for this purpose.

  2. Verify claims against original evidence

    Open source pages, preserve citations, and distinguish reported facts from inference.

  3. Represent gaps and uncertainty

    Flag incomplete, stale, conflicting, or promotional information without inventing conclusions.

  4. Respect privacy and reuse rights

    Collect only necessary details and check access, copyright, and attribution terms.

  5. Approve findings before circulation

    Have a responsible researcher review the evidence and any consequential use.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A private product context, research questions, proposed methods, and reviewer feedback review draft with source checks, uncertainty notes, and human approval status.

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Record source scope and retrieval dates

Set evidence and citation standards

Require original-source checks for material claims and retain uncertainty notes.

Protect private research records

Limit access and retention for personal, commercial, or unpublished information.
