CORPORATE RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Understand a company’s public commitments before planning an advocacy conversation.

For a lawful advocacy research purpose, organize permitted public information about a company’s practices and published commitments, along with relevant organizational roles and public statements. Preserve sources and dates, distinguish verified company facts from allegations or interpretation, and keep personal information to a minimum. Do not infer private traits, target people at home, or encourage harassment. Require an experienced campaign lead to check evidence and approve any proposed engagement or public claim.

Keep in mind

Public information can be incomplete, outdated, or wrongly attributed, particularly when it concerns individuals. Verify identities and claims against original sources, avoid sensitive personal data, and ensure campaign recommendations support lawful, respectful engagement rather than harassment.

Set the standard.

Retain source dates, attribution, claim status, and known limitations with each finding.

Require campaign-lead approval

Review public claims and proposed outreach for factual accuracy and safe, respectful engagement.
