RESPONSIBLE OUTREACH · Workflow idea

Build a focused business directory without collecting more personal information than needed.

For work involving business listings matching an approved industry and service area, check the facts and permissions before taking the next step. Prepare a limited list of possible business matches with source details for a researcher to verify. Listings may be stale or identify sole proprietors, and source terms may limit collection or reuse. Document a legitimate purpose, use permitted sources, verify business identity and location, minimize contact details, and require a person to approve any record import or outreach.
