Start with what was said

A comment asking for a recommendation gives more direct evidence than a like. Keep the text that supports any assigned category.

Define useful categories

Separate questions, requests, experiences, and general reactions. Use categories that relate to the research decision you need to make.

Review interpretations

Relevance scores are suggestions. Check the thread and profile context before using an interpretation to prioritize a person.

A useful research record should explain what was observed, where it came from, and what still needs checking.

Keep the source attached

Preserve the post URL and original comment with your research notes so the reasoning stays inspectable.
