Describe the post you need
Specify the problem, communities, language and relevant date range. Include exclusions that would otherwise inflate the result.
Find public posts where restoration contractors discuss missing job photos or report handover. Return the original post links, dates where available and reasons for the match. Exclude vendor promotions and duplicated reposts.Use your own subject rather than copying the example audience. If a community is private or inaccessible, ask the research to record that limitation and continue with readable public sources.
Open the original discussion
Verify the words you intend to quote in the original context. Read enough of the thread to see whether the author is asking for a solution, describing a past event or replying to someone else. Preserve the permalink rather than only a search-results URL.
Do not infer the author’s location or purchasing role from the language of the post. If those details matter and are absent, record them as unknown.
Decide what the source actually supports
| The post says | Useful interpretation |
|---|---|
| “We spend time renaming photos” | A described workflow problem worth investigating |
| “What software do you recommend?” | A solution-seeking question in that thread |
| A vendor says the industry wastes time | A vendor claim, not an independent buyer discussion |
These phrases are illustrative examples, not retrieved quotations. In the actual report, attach the source to the exact observation.
Use the material without forcing it into a lead list
Continue from the selected posts to request themes, interview questions or a response draft. A useful output keeps the original permalink, platform, date if available, problem summary and match reason together. A contact profile is unnecessary when the task is to understand a discussion.
For these returned posts, separate direct requests for a solution from
adjacent workflow complaints. For one relevant discussion, draft a useful
reply that answers the question. Keep it as a draft; do not post.If results are sparse, broaden one variable—terminology, dates or sources—and label the adjacent matches. If a source is private or inaccessible, record the gap instead of treating it as evidence of no demand.
