Philippines research support: source-evaluation controls

A research-led model for gathering web evidence, documenting source quality, and separating findings from interpretation.

Headline metric: 5 checks before a source enters a brief

Research support is valuable when another person can inspect the path from question to source to conclusion. A list of links without dates, authorship, scope, or claim mapping is not a reliable evidence record.

A strong request defines the decision, the inclusion rule, the acceptable source types, and the uncertainty that must remain visible. The researcher can collect and summarize; the owner decides whether the evidence is sufficient for a business claim.

The source record should capture the exact page, publication or update date when available, relevant passage in notes, claim supported, and limitations. Avoid treating a standards page as proof that a provider has implemented the standard.

The practical control is claim-to-source mapping. Every material sentence should either have a relevant citation or be clearly labeled as interpretation, recommendation, or an open question.

Key stats and source notes

Methods note: comparative review of NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 9001, W3C WCAG 2.2, U.S. National Archives records guidance, and CISA advisories. The method is an evidence-handling model, not a claim about search quality.

FAQs

What makes a source claim-relevant?
