Hello everyone in the QuickBooks Community, and how are you doing? Do you at times need help analyzing information? Well, I found an acronym that can assist. It is called CRAAP. No, no I'm not trying to be inappropriate, but this is a well-used and well-known acronym practiced in the business world.
- Currency looks at the timelessness of the information. Questions to ask are if the information is recent or out of date? Has it be revised?
- Relevance highlights the importance of your information in regards to what you need. Questions that can be helpful in this are: Who is the target audience? Does this answer your questions?
- Authority references the source of information. Questions that can provide clarity are: What are the person's qualifications to speak/write of these topics? Who is the author source?
- Accuracy relates to the correctness of the information as well as reliability or truthfulness. Questions that can assist are: Where did this information come from? Is the source only personal knowledge? Is there evidence to support it?
- Purpose involves the reason why this information exists. Questions that can arise are what is the purpose of this information? Is it an opinion or based on facts?
Have you ever use this acronym in your business to help critically evaluate information? If so, please feel free to share your opinion. We look forward to it! Until then, continue to be safe and be well, my Community comrades.
