Collect research sources

Collect research sources in Notion — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Compile the research sources we discussed into the central research database and notify the team lead. For each source add title, author, publication date, a 30-word summary, and the one sentence on whether it supports or contradicts our hypothesis. Link raw files where available and set the status to Ready for Review by Wednesday.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I hand this collection to the product squad, make it reviewer-friendly. Surface the three sources most relevant to our user-onboarding hypothesis, put their key evidence and methodology at the top, and highlight anything with small sample size or potential bias that would make a reviewer hesitate.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

Research sources arrived with mixed quality

My interns uploaded a batch of research sources but half lack methods and one contradicts our core assumption. I must send this to Elena, the research lead, but I’m not sure which items to flag first. She’ll be annoyed by junk. What’s the best triage judgment to make quickly, and how should I present the contradictions so she trusts I did the pre-check?

Become — change the pattern

Research inputs are inconsistent and slow to review

Over projects we keep getting low-quality source uploads and reviews stall at the research lead. I spend hours cleaning metadata. Where am I repeatedly losing time and credibility, and what single change to intake or labeling would make reviews faster and preserve trust with Elena and the product team?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
