Review the processCan existing datasets be used?
Review rights, quality, formats and update ownership first. A dataset's presence does not establish that it is suitable for the intended decision.
Does every task need location tracking?
No. Define the task and information required before considering location permissions or collection. Any tracking feature needs an explicit agreed purpose and handling rules.
