VISUAL RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Find the pages that matter, then check what they actually show.

For a team authorized to use a report, organize its page images for retrieval and prepare an answer from the pages most relevant to a question. Search results can miss context, and charts or scanned text can be misread. Preserve links to the original pages, respect document access and reuse rights, keep source files and questions private, and have a knowledgeable person verify the cited evidence before anyone relies on or shares an answer.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A permitted report, its page images, and a defined audience for research answers

“Find relevant visual evidence without losing the source context or presenting an uncertain reading as fact.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team prepare a question-answering reference from report page images, retrieve likely relevant pages, and return a response grounded in those pages.

  1. Confirm document access and permitted use

    Check the report owner, intended audience, reuse rights, and any restrictions on its pages or contents.

  2. Prepare a limited, traceable reference

    Keep page images connected to the original document and exclude material outside the approved scope.

  3. Retrieve pages relevant to the question

    Review suggested matches as candidates, not proof that the full document has been searched.

  4. Check the answer against the original pages

    Verify chart labels, values, units, dates, and surrounding context before relying on a claim.

  5. Approve the answer and its audience

    Have a knowledgeable person confirm citations, wording, and access before sharing the response.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A draft answer linked to relevant report pages and ready for a human accuracy check.

The handoff

A draft answer linked to relevant report pages and ready for a human accuracy check.

Keep in mind

A chart, table, or scan can be interpreted incorrectly, and indexed page images may contain confidential information. Confirm permission to process the report, preserve source links and access limits, and require a subject-matter reviewer to check the cited pages and answer before sharing or making a decision.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose approved documents and readers

Set the collection scope, access rules, and the people allowed to ask questions or see answers.

Protect source pages and questions

Treat indexed images and queries as potentially confidential; restrict access and set retention limits.

Define evidence and uncertainty standards

Require page references, visible caveats, and escalation when a chart or scan is unclear.

Keep consequential use under human review

Do not use an unverified answer as the sole basis for a legal, financial, or operational decision.

Keep exploring

Review public social image observations

Prepare a limited, source-linked review of permitted public social images for a defined research question. Keep the result accurate, appropriately private, and ready for an accountable person to review.
