2. Prepare 12 public recommender documents from four platforms and a separate answer sheet or coding sheet.
3. Run one pilot and fix unclear questions.
4. Collect the named evidence with consent.
5. Group the findings with the stated categories and check the answer sheet.
6. Produce comparison table, evidence gaps and a plain-language disclosure template. List the three most useful changes.
