RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Review business scenario comparisons with clear checks before anything consequential happens.

Organize a scenario comparison from approved business inputs so leaders can examine assumptions and trade-offs. A simulation is not a forecast, and hidden assumptions can distort an important decision. Validate input versions and calculations, protect confidential plans, show uncertainty and downside cases, check stakeholder and safety impacts, and keep commitments and consequential choices with accountable human decision-makers. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.

Organize a scenario comparison from approved business inputs so leaders can examine assumptions and trade-offs.

  1. Set a narrow question and permitted sources

    Define scope and dates, and respect access, collection, and reuse conditions.

  2. Check claims against original evidence

    Open primary references and preserve links, retrieval dates, and relevant context.

  3. Show gaps and uncertainty

    Separate observations from estimates and flag incomplete or conflicting evidence.

  4. Approve findings before circulation

    Have a responsible researcher verify evidence, interpretation, and intended use.

Something to build on.

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
