Start with a decision
Social media research that leads somewhere.
Two paths through the same evidence: creators need an original post worth making; marketers need a defensible audience, creator or competitor decision. Choose the workflow that fits your task.
Define the question before collecting posts
Write down the decision, relevant audience, selected platforms and observation window. A specific question produces a more useful research brief than a broad request for everything trending. Check source context before treating a pattern as a finding.
