Dots research watch workflow
Track meaningful changes across a defined set of sources.
Set up the inputs
Replace the bracketed fields with actual sources, destinations and timing. Connect the relevant plugins or provide the files directly. Keep the first run focused on one project so feedback is easy to apply.
What a useful result looks like
A pricing page changes but ten news articles repeat the same announcement. The digest contains one entry with the original pricing page and the actual changed terms.
Run it once, then repeat
Paste the task brief below and request one complete result. Open the source links, check the dates and owners, and revise the format. For recurring work, have the dot confirm the schedule and destination after the first result meets your needs.
Improve the brief over time
When you edit an output, state the reusable preference behind the edit. Keep project facts in the named source documents. Update the brief when the responsibility changes, and review its end date when the project closes.
Copy this task brief
Track [topic] for the decision [decision I need to make]. Primary sources: [URLs or publication names]. Baseline: [date or existing brief]. Check [frequency, time, time zone] until [end date]. Confirm the schedule. For each material new item, record publication date, event date, source URL, what changed, and its effect on my decision. Keep facts and your interpretation in separate paragraphs. Deduplicate reposts and retain the original source. Rank by relevance to [criteria], not by popularity. Produce a weekly digest of at most five items, plus a change log. If a finding changes the recommended decision, notify me in [destination] with the evidence. First produce a baseline using the supplied sources.Download Markdown ↓
