WEBSITE RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Find the right information across a site, with sources to check.

Start with a website and a clear research question, then review relevant pages for the requested details. Keep page links with the findings so a researcher can confirm the source, resolve uncertainty, and decide what information is suitable to retain or share.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A site address and a defined information need approved by the site owner or researcher

“Look through relevant pages on the selected site, collect the requested details with source links, and prepare the findings for human verification.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps researchers find selected details across a site without checking every relevant page by hand.

  1. Define the site and research question

    Choose an approved website and specify the information needed so the search stays within a clear purpose.

  2. Review relevant pages

    Follow suitable pages within the agreed site scope and retain the address for every useful finding.

  3. Prepare the requested details

    Organize findings around the question, distinguish missing information from confirmed details, and avoid filling gaps with guesses.

  4. Verify results against their sources

    Have a researcher open the linked pages and check that each important detail is current and accurately represented.

  5. Approve any next step

    Require a person to review the intended audience and approve any shared record change or outgoing message based on the findings.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A source-linked summary of requested website information, with gaps and uncertain findings visible for a person to review.

The handoff

A source-linked summary of requested website information, with gaps and uncertain findings visible for a person to review.

Keep in mind

Pages can change, restrict access, or contain information that should not be collected. Respect site access rules and privacy expectations; verify every material finding against its original page, and require a person to approve any record change, issue alert, or external use.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose allowed websites and purposes

List approved sites, permitted research purposes, and any pages or information that should remain out of scope.

Specify the details to collect

Describe the requested information and how findings, source links, and missing details should be presented.

Set review and privacy ownership

Name who verifies sources, handles sensitive findings, and approves any later use or sharing.

Test narrow, broad, and incomplete results

Check a focused question, a site with several relevant pages, and a case with missing information to ensure uncertainty stays visible.
