Thank you for that helpful guide which I will recommend to my students.

The only addition I’d suggest:

Number 0: Motivation

IMO it makes sense to think about your motivation for content curation first — which means to link your curation efforts to your content strategy and your stakeholders. For example, in many cases it wouldn’t make sense to cover an industry with curation completely but only some emerging topics, depending on your objectives or on gaps in reporting. I think, these considerations are a helpful preparation for the search setup and as well for developing a clear focus on your efforts which helps to market and to evaluate it later on.

What do you think? Does this make sense?
