Statistic Staleness Years Old Data Flag Checker

Audit actual statistic reference-date ages under caller civil-day staleness policy, preserving future dates separately; reference period is not publication date and no universal expiry or data-revision authenticity inference.

Description

Statistic age should use its reference date rather than its publication date.

Statistic age should use its reference date rather than its publication date. Future dates need a separate flag.^[1]

Enter reference-date list, as-of date and integer maximum 0–36600. Validate exact real Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD in1900–2199; return signed ages, stale and future indices.

Limitations and assumptions

Empty lists are permitted. No universal expiry, revision authenticity or current-clock assumption is supplied.

Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Numeric lists are limited to 10,000 entries; string lists to 128 strings of at most 128 characters each. The rules above may impose smaller limits. Extremely large text inputs are rejected. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Story Turnaround Hours Beat Average Calculator: Completed-story turnaround differs from unfinished-story exposure. Complete-case averages can hide pending work. For a complementary task, use Update Stamp Correction Changelog Append Format Lookup: A change log distinguishes updates, corrections and clarifications using explicit editorial labels. JSON escaping keeps arbitrary notes separate from record syntax.
