RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find a reference worth checking without making an unsupported claim about a site owner.

For work involving authorized site references to former clients and possible link or attribution changes, start with a defined purpose and check the evidence before taking the next step. Prepare a dated list of selected page references and possible follow-up questions for a site owner. Web observations can be stale or misattributed, and site content may be restricted or copyrighted. Check access terms, verify each live page and contract obligation, keep client details confidential, and require the account owner to approve any outreach, removal request, or public statement.

Keep the question, source links, access conditions, and review period traceable.

Set citation and verification standards

Require direct checks for material claims and keep uncertainty visible.

Protect people and source material

Limit identifiers and honor participant, source, and rights-holder requirements.

Do not present a forecast, ranking, or interpretation as established fact without review.

Keep exploring

Review internal template search digests
