Every live figure carries an as-of date and a last-reviewed date. Warconomy classifies it as current, aging, or stale by comparing its age to the cadence of its source — monthly data ages faster than annual data. Freshness is a re-check signal, not a correctness claim: a stale figure is one due for re-verification, not one known to be wrong.
- Three statuses: current, aging, stale.
- Thresholds are cadence-aware (monthly vs annual vs unknown).
- A re-check signal, not a correctness claim. Live breakdown at /freshness.
Statuses
current: Within the source's expected update window — no re-check due.
aging: Past the typical window but not yet overdue — a re-check is recommended soon.
stale: A re-check is overdue relative to the source's cadence. Not a claim the value is wrong, only that it should be re-verified.
Cadence-aware thresholds
| Cadence | Aging after (days) | Stale after (days) |
|---|---|---|
| monthly | 45 | 90 |
| annual | 547 | 913 |
| unknown | 90 | 180 |
