Philippines staffing guide
Use a source-packet naming routine for VA article research
Keep article evidence findable by connecting every source packet to one question, route, date, and version.
Name the work by its identity
A folder called research or final will not help next week. Use the article slug, research question, collection date, and packet version in a predictable order. Keep the public route separate from a draft title because titles can change during editing.
Keep source roles visible
Mark whether each record is a primary authority, company statement, background explanation, or lead that still needs verification. A familiar domain does not make every page suitable for every claim. The assistant should preserve the passage and qualification that support the proposed sentence.
Connect notes to a draft version
Record which content version used the packet and what changed during review. If the editor narrows a claim, keep the reason beside the evidence. Do not overwrite earlier notes in a way that makes an approved decision impossible to reconstruct.
Control copies and sensitive material
Store the packet in the approved workspace and avoid unnecessary exports. Public article research rarely needs customer records, credentials, or private inbox material. If a request seems to require restricted evidence, the assistant should stop and ask the named owner for a safer source or revised claim.
Close the packet with a status
Use accepted, superseded, held, or retired. State the last checked date and any claim that still depends on release-day verification. Clear closure prevents an old packet from being reused simply because its filename looks current.
Put the routine into practice
Start with one article lane and keep editorial, security, legal, financial, and business approvals with the named owners. OverseasVirtualAssistant.com can help scope Philippines-based support around the preparation and handoff work.
