The task

Build a clean lead research sheet that a small business could use to organize prospects before outreach. The focus is data quality, consistency and clear next actions.

Database structure

The sheet separates company information from contact information and adds status, priority and follow-up fields so the list can support an actual workflow rather than becoming a static collection of names.

Quality-control checklist

  • Use consistent naming and formatting across every row.
  • Separate verified facts from notes or assumptions.
  • Avoid guessing email addresses or personal contact information.
  • Record the source or website used for research when needed.
  • Keep status and follow-up fields updated so the sheet remains operational.

What this demonstrates

Internet research, spreadsheet organization, attention to detail, lead-list hygiene and the ability to structure information for another person to use quickly.
