RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Build a useful directory while respecting access rules and the people behind each listing.

For a team with an authorized purpose, prepare a limited, source-linked set of local business listing details for an owner or researcher to check. Directory data can be stale, contain personal contact details, or have restrictions on collection and reuse. Confirm a permitted purpose, follow source terms and request limits, collect only necessary fields, verify business identity and current details, and require an owner to approve any export, publication, or contact. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under explicit human approval.

  1. Set a narrow question and permitted sources

  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.
