RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find useful details in documents while keeping each answer within the reader’s access rights.

For a permitted purpose, prepare an answer to a document question with source passages available for an authorized reviewer. A retrieved passage may be incomplete, outdated, or visible to someone without permission. Confirm document rights and requester access, preserve source versions and citations, protect questions and excerpts, flag uncertainty instead of guessing, and require a qualified owner to review sensitive or consequential answers before sharing. Confirm permission and any required notice or consent, minimize private information, respect access and reuse rights, verify claims against current source records, and require an accountable person to approve the exact consequential action.
