PRODUCT DISCOVERY RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Get a product overview you can check against its original page.

Choose a product by name and prepare a structured overview of its public description, categories, links, and other available details. Keep the original page alongside the summary so a researcher can verify what is current and decide whether the information is suitable for a report or internal comparison.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a researcher collect product information from a public discovery page without losing the source context.

  1. Name the product and research purpose

    Clarify which product is in scope and why the information is needed before collecting any details.

  2. Review the appropriate public page

    Use a page that is permitted for the research purpose and retain its title, date, and address for checking.

  3. Organize relevant profile details

    Prepare a readable overview of available product description, category, links, and public engagement details that matter to the question.

  4. Verify claims and current information

    Compare important facts with the original page and the product’s own current materials; mark missing or conflicting details.

  5. Approve quotes and external use

    Have a researcher review attribution, reuse permission, wording, and intended audience before any findings are published or sent outside the team.

A product research brief with selected public details and its original page available for verification.

Keep in mind

Public profiles can change, contain incomplete claims, or include details that should not be reused without permission. Follow site access and reuse rules, verify important information on the original page, and require a person to approve conclusions, quotations, and any external publication or message.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define approved pages and research goals

Choose the public sources and product questions that are in scope, and confirm the team may review them for this purpose.

Select useful profile information

Agree which details help answer the research question and exclude unrelated or unnecessary personal information.

Keep source links with private research drafts

Store summaries with their original page references and limit access to the people conducting the review.

Test incomplete and changing profiles

Check missing fields, changed product details, and unclear pages to confirm uncertainty is visible and no unreviewed material is published.
