Keep batch image results attached to the right original image

Start from the input, not the results

Multi-image work fails quietly when results drift out of order. Fix the order yourself before any searching: number or name each permitted public image on your own device, and write one line describing what is visible in it, such as a cropped photograph of a building entrance or a poster fragment. These labels are yours, not a platform field. The product owner confirms that photo input uses visible text and image similarity to look for public social pages and image appearances, and that coverage is not exhaustive, so a labelled input list is the only reliable anchor when several searches run.

• Write the neutral label and a one-line visible-content note before searching.
• Keep the original files in one folder so you can compare copies later.

One ledger row per image, written as you go

Add each returned page to the ledger immediately under the image that surfaced it, with the page label and the date you opened it. Do not collect rows into a shared pile and sort them afterwards. If you search a second image later, its rows begin with its own label. The row should also state whether you opened the page and what the page visibly contains. Where the tool offers no confirmed export, keep the ledger in a plain document you control rather than assuming a download function exists. File specifications and batch limits are not confirmed, so your ledger, not the interface, is the record. [TraceSeek: product overview and operator-confirmed capabilities]

Separate similarity from identity

A returned page shows that an image or its visible text resembles, or appears on, a public page. It does not establish who is in the photo, who owns it, whether an account is active, or what anyone intends. The same person can appear across unrelated images, and unrelated people can share a page through shared events or reused photos. Record identity links as unconfirmed whenever you cannot point to an explicit public statement on the page itself. AI analysis of found public profile content may offer interpretations about work, income or relationships, but those are unverified inferences, not independently established personal facts. Treat them as prompts for a local note, never as ledger evidence. [TraceSeek: product overview and operator-confirmed capabilities]

• Label each possible cross-image link "unconfirmed" and state what would be needed to support it.
• Keep AI interpretations in a separate note column, clearly marked as inference.

A hypothetical ledger in practice

Suppose, hypothetically, you search three permitted public images: a shopfront, a poster fragment and a street sign. The shopfront returns two pages, the poster returns one of those pages and a second blog page, and the street sign returns nothing. Your ledger has three anchors and four page rows, with one page marked as appearing for both the shopfront and the poster. That overlap is recorded, but the shopfront and poster remain separate inputs. You do not merge them into one "case" or conclude that the same account or person produced both images. The unmatched image is logged with its precise limit: no public page found for it in that search.

When to stop and what to write down

Stop when a source is absent, private, mismatched or ambiguous, and write that precise limit into the ledger rather than stepping around it. Do not seek private records, do not attempt identification from resemblance, and do not contact strangers found through results. If a returned page seems to show a different scene from your image, mark the row mismatched and say why. General AI guidance also advises verifying sources behind generated output and cautions against drawing broad conclusions from narrow, non-systematic checks.

• Record "private, not accessed" or "no public page found" as a result in its own right.
• Close the session once each image has a ledger row and a stated limit.
