# Monitoring and Freshness

AI-Ready tracks freshness metadata so public profiles, audit records and verified-profile claims do not look newer than they are.

Freshness signals include:

- organization `last_checked_at`;
- website `last_crawled_at`;
- page `content_hash`, `last_seen_at` and `last_changed_at`;
- audit `created_at`;
- verified profile `verified_at` and `verification_expires_at`;
- public `stale` status when data needs another review.

Fresh means the data was checked recently enough for this local index policy. Fresh does not mean best, endorsed, paid, ranked higher or guaranteed to appear in third-party AI answers.

Stale, failed or expired records should show public warnings and should go through admin review before being treated as current. Verified profiles can become stale or expired when their confirmation window ends.

Monitoring v0.1 is local/demo and manual. Admin-lite can trigger a manual recrawl through the same safe crawler rules used by audit. There is no production scheduler, cron job, queue or external monitoring service in this phase.
