Use evidence that survives a handoff
A useful competitor research tables record keeps the original request, the check performed, and the unresolved question together. This lets the strategy or business owner review the result without reconstructing a chat or guessing which version was current.
Keep judgment with the right owner
Do not scrape restricted data, invent provider capabilities, or publish a competitor claim without verification. Give the assistant only the access needed for the first lane, and make the escalation request explicit: include the record, what was checked, and the decision required.
Pilot, sample, then expand
Start with a small representative sample of competitor research tables work. Review accuracy, completeness, source use, and escalation quality. Correct the instruction at the source, then add a related duty only when the first lane is dependable.
