<p>"make a list", yes.</p>

<p>梳理 is a compound word of two verbs, 梳 and 理, which just repeat each other. They both are actions of combing hair or cut hair.</p>

<p>梳理 is used for a more abstract meaning that include:</p>

<p>To keep things neat and tidy</p>

<p>To sort things out</p>

<p>To arrange in a certain way</p>

<p>To make a to do list</p>

<p>To prioritize tasks</p>

<p>To make it organized </p>

You can understand it as making a list.

梳理 as a verb in this setting means "organising ideas" (Oxford EN-CN). Apparently making a list is one way to do that. Since "organising ideas" might sound awkward in the sentence in English, it's perfectly okay to say "make a plan", "make a list", "prioritise", "think it though" or "tease out" etc.

Besides "make a list", I think "sort out" would sound quite alright here as well:

In line with the second meaning of comb -or- organize:

# KEY

I think **organization** fits pretty well for your sentence here, especially because later in the sentence it mentions *流程* and *选址*.

So basically we have 做一个梳理 = Do some organization
