Why selection belongs before enrichment

Start with broad discovery

Collection helps you see who is present in a conversation or source. Many of those people will not fit your research criteria.

Make selection explicit

Define a few clear criteria and inspect profile and activity context before choosing a record.

Research the chosen people

Collecting fuller profile details is more useful when applied to a smaller, relevant set.

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

Keep your evidence

For each added detail, keep the profile it came from, so you can check it later.
