Research context: Technology and software
When researching a technology business, distinguish the product from its delivery model. Software licensing, subscriptions, services, and hardware can describe different customer relationships even when companies operate in the same broad sector. A short public description rarely establishes the revenue model, the ownership of intellectual property, or the customer base.
Questions for researching Red Hat
- Does the company describe a specific product, a service engagement, or a platform connecting other parties?
- Which current product pages or dated announcements explain how the offering has changed since founding?
- Are the founder biography and company history consistent about the original business and later changes?

Research context: Media and creative businesses
Creative-business histories often span a studio, a publishing label, individual works, and later corporate owners. Distinguish the founding of the business from the release of a particular product or production. The public description identifies an area of activity but does not establish ownership of individual creative works or current publishing rights.
Questions for researching Lulu Press, Inc.
