Repository Workflow

01 Capture

Drop raw interviews, podcasts, profile pages, talk listings, and related media here first so nothing gets lost during early research.

Folder public/steven-woods-research/incoming/
Use staging and first-pass processing

02 Review

Extract dates, titles, contexts, archive status, and whether each item is a public appearance, profile, or third-party media mention.

Core tasks identify, date, classify, cross-link
Result source-manifest entries and review notes

03 Preserve

Store local copies and structured summaries so the person-centric archive remains usable even when older public links disappear or drift.
