I wonder whether it is worth to employ a student just for getting access to Standards / Papers via their university. (Back when I was at a technical University we could access that via our student logins) That way you might explore which standards are necessary and buy them if need-be. edit: Obviously I would advocate for open and free standards.

University libraries sometimes make standards available to everyone with a library card. But at least in the cases I've seen, they have ToS limiting usage to research/non-commercial. Which also makes the "hire a student" plan a bad one, hiring someone and then expecting them to break their uni's rules/the standard's license isn't great.
