Research on the web

Make the question specific enough to answer

Include the details that could change the result: location, date, budget, intended use, and what you are deciding.

Instead of:

What is the best internet plan?

Try:

Compare home internet options available at my address in Vilnius. I need reliable video calls, no long contract, and a total monthly cost under €35.

Ask for sources you can inspect

A useful answer should show:

• Which facts came from official or primary sources.
• When each source was published or last updated.
• Where credible sources disagree.
• Which conclusion is an estimate or inference.
• What could not be verified.

Watch the date

Prices, policies, product details, schedules, laws, and company information can change quickly. Ask Steady to state the date of the research and avoid treating an old page as current merely because it still ranks highly.
