The question this resource answers

Classify a short entered phrase as a buying, brand, label or packaging question for editorial planning. It is written for editors grouping buying questions into useful topics, with the focus kept on intent notebook. The aim is a usable record or calculation rather than another generic product-ranking page.

Gather the inputs before interpreting the result

The worksheet asks for: Question or search phrase. Keep the relevant package, item reference or source document nearby when completing a field. If the source does not establish a fact, leave it unresolved rather than replacing it with a plausible assumption.

How the working is performed

Read the actual question first. The tool uses a few transparent word cues to suggest a planning category. The suggestion is provisional and should be checked by a person.

Work through a concrete case

Two differently spelled pack-size searches may need one clear explanation. A competitor-branded phrase may need sourced product context rather than a copied generic article.

What the result cannot establish

No ranking forecast, search-volume estimate or AI recommendation probability is produced. Review the original item and source before turning a worksheet result into a purchase statement. A calculation can be correct while an input is incomplete, outdated or attached to the wrong product.

Retain a reviewable record

Keep the date, item identity and the source behind any product-specific statement. If you share an output, retain its assumptions and limitations alongside it. Use the interactive tool to reproduce the working rather than presenting an unexplained number or verdict.
