How to compare sources and prepare a brief

A useful research or data request begins with the decision you need to make. Specify the question, the evidence that can answer it and the format you will review. This gives a researcher or AI operator a clearer target than simply asking for a report or a list.

Choose an output you can use

A small task could compare a defined set of suppliers, check public information about selected venues, organize a supplied spreadsheet, summarize a bounded set of documents or verify changes in a named data source. State the geography, time period, number of records and relevant languages. For data cleanup, provide sample rows and explain what a corrected record should look like.

Ask how the work will be checked

When comparing proposals, ask which sources will be consulted, how each important claim will be traced and how uncertain information will be labeled. Clarify whether the work is one-time research or continuing monitoring. Request relevant experience and an explanation of the human review applied to AI-assisted extraction or summaries. If an external notice has eligibility requirements, confirm those at the original source before treating it as suitable work.

Agree acceptance before collection starts

Check that the promised coverage is complete, units and dates are consistent, duplicates follow an agreed rule and missing values remain visible. Ask for source links and checking dates where the task concerns current public facts. For calculations, request the formulas or reproducible steps needed to inspect the result. A recommendation should distinguish evidence from the researcher's judgment.

Use the general task brief to define the question and checks. If the same collection must run repeatedly, consult the automation brief. Publish your research request with a bounded first deliverable.

Translation and language work

For translation, transcription or linguistic review, state the source and target languages, the audience, the file or recording length and the output format. Share terminology and acceptance examples before comparing proposals. Onsite interpreting also needs the date, time zone, location and event format.

Use the translation, subtitles and interpreting brief to prepare the request.

About sources and dates

We review original publications, remove duplicates and write independent summaries. Published filters and newest-first ordering use verified publication evidence. Activity windows, document dates, PDF metadata, file-name dates and reviews are labelled separately; their original publication date remains unverified. An accessible source or a future deadline does not confirm current availability, eligibility or funding. Contact the original publisher about an external listing; use SparkGuild to post your own task.

For TED notices, consult the original publication and latest changes. Source terms apply separately to notices and attachments; access alone does not grant reuse permission. TED API documentation · Read a tender notice
