# Data Collection & Processing Workflow

The SageUnion platform follows a structured and transparent data collection and processing workflow to ensure the quality and integrity of the information:

1. **Weekly Question Announcement:**\
   Each week, a curated question is published through the Telegram Mini-App.
2. **User Submission Phase:**\
   Users submit their responses within the designated timeframe.
3. **Preprocessing & Data Sanitization:**\
   Submitted data is automatically checked for spam, plagiarism, or invalid content to maintain data integrity.
4. **AI Evaluation Preparation:**\
   Preprocessed responses are formatted and prepared for analysis by the AI Evaluation Engine.
5. **Storage:**\
   All submissions, along with their evaluation results, are securely stored in the SageUnion Information Database.
