Method · Row field notes

Build a LitBuy Spreadsheet row note in four steps

Each step leaves one named output; a step that cannot finish writes its gap into the note instead.

Before starting

Have these within reach

  • The saved row or link you plan to check
  • A place to write the five fields
  • Today's date for every observation

Four-step method

Turn one row into one field notes record

The method keeps observations and decisions apart, so a later reader can redo the observation without inheriting a conclusion.

  1. 1. Resolve the source

    Open the saved link, let redirects finish, and record the final page address.

  2. 2. Copy the option wording

    Copy the exact size, color, or batch text from the live listing into the note.

  3. 3. Record money and visuals

    Write the observed amount with currency and date, then list which photo views exist or are missing.

  4. 4. Date the note and set the next question

    Close the note with its date and the single question the next check should answer.

Step outputs

Each step leaves something reusable

Naming the output of every step keeps an interrupted session resumable and a finished record auditable.

Resolved page

The first step ends with the final listing address written down.

Copied wording

The second step ends with exact option text, not a paraphrase.

Dated observation

The last steps end with values that each carry their observation date.

Worked example

A missing view is a finding, not a failure

When a listing shows the front of an item but no other angles, the photo state field records exactly that, which changes what the next check looks for.

Step output

Each step names its output so an interrupted run can resume cleanly.

Stop condition

A missing source or undated observation stops the step, not the method.

Resume point

The last completed output marks where the next session continues.

Return to the live source with a complete record

The saved record should explain both the observation and its limits.
