A useful briefing begins with a useful question. The sources you give it help define what a good answer looks like. A company’s newsroom, a specialist publication, and a researcher’s website each see a subject from a different position.
In Dayfaro, add website links directly to your briefing instructions. Say what you want from them and whether the research should include other sources. You can edit those instructions whenever your reading list changes.
Start near the original information
For a product release, start with the company announcement. For a research finding, look for the paper or the institution that published it. For a local project, the organisation responsible may have the dates and documents you need.
Original sources can still be incomplete or interested in telling a particular story. A company is explaining its own product. Include independent reporting when you want context, criticism, or a comparison with other approaches.
Tell Dayfaro how to use each website
A list of links gives the research a starting point. A sentence about each link makes your intention clearer. You might ask it to use an industry publication for context and company newsrooms for launch details.
Try an instruction like: “Start with these websites. Focus on their recent material about urban mobility. You may search more widely to check context. Include the original article links and make clear when a claim comes from a company announcement.”
Be realistic about access and coverage
Adding a website does not give Dayfaro access to a subscription, a private account, or every page on that domain. Research depends on what web search can find and access. A briefing is not a guarantee that every change to every website has been captured.
When an important source is unavailable, ask for that limitation to be stated. Choose another accessible source or provide material you are entitled to use. Recheck a briefing against the original page before relying on a specific claim.
Keep dates and links in the brief
Ask for both the date of the event and the publication date when the distinction matters. Several fresh articles may all describe an older announcement. Clear dates make it easier to tell a new development from a new retelling.
Open the source behind a number or strong claim. Check that it supports the wording in the narration. A linked article gives you somewhere to investigate; it does not make the generated summary automatically correct.
Review your list as your interests change
After a few briefings, remove sources that mostly repeat the same material. Add a more focused publication when a subtopic becomes interesting. If the brief is missing a perspective, name it in the instructions.
You can keep a separate recurring briefing for another interest rather than making one reading list cover everything. Give each brief a clear purpose and a schedule you have time to follow.
