Action

Why this helps
Teams can mistake a few convenient sources for broad coverage when no one tracks what has not been reviewed.
- Summarize the source scope available to the review.
- Make coverage gaps and research limits explicit.
- Give future research planning a useful starting point.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtop and Dovetail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, define the research period and available results, then ask Notis to write a Dovetail doc covering sources reviewed, coverage gaps and limits of the available material.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real period of results and verify the coverage claims against the sources.
Questions about this workflow
Can it know which sources were never reviewed?
Only if the available records describe the expected source set. Otherwise it can report sources present and state that total coverage is unknown.
Does it assess research quality?
It can apply criteria you provide to the available source material, while clearly stating what those materials do not establish.
What does the retrospective create?
A Dovetail doc containing the coverage summary for the period and results specified in your instruction.
