This is a prioritized manual-maintenance checklist derived from each value's review status and its source's cadence. It schedules nothing and automates nothing — every row is an action a maintainer can take by hand: refresh a stale/overdue source, append the next period of a recurring series, preserve an old event snapshot, replace a sample row with a source-linked one, or verify a source still publishes. Most current values need no immediate action.
- 31 of 59 rows have a suggested action.
- Derived from review status + source cadence; manual, not automated.
- Machine-readable at /review-actions/data.json.
