FEEDBACK AND KNOWLEDGE SEARCH · Workflow idea

Find the feedback that matters and keep its source in view.

Help a team search a selected collection of written material for relevant themes, related examples, and useful comparisons.

The handoff

A concise set of relevant excerpts or themes with their sources, plus any proposed additions held for approval.

Keep in mind

Search results and groupings can omit context or expose information from restricted material. Keep searches within an approved collection, limit access to intended readers, verify conclusions against the original sources, and require an owner to approve additions, recommendations, or consequential uses of the findings.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Select collections and permitted material

Choose the document or feedback sets in scope and confirm they are appropriate for the stated purpose.

Define access and search boundaries

Limit readers to authorized people and specify which collections or topics should not be searched.

Set source and interpretation standards

Decide how original context, uncertain matches, and limitations should be presented to reviewers.

Assign collection and decision owners

Name who approves new entries, verifies findings, and decides whether a recommendation is suitable for use.
